I would say: Bullshit... Docs are "not" interesting for the MOST customers and not everybody who reads the DOC is/or will become a Customer... So providing them via Torrent, anonymous FTP or HTTP WITHOUT Registration is possible for technical documentation. Otherwise most universities in the US shouldn`t provide ANY documentation (f.e. for any science project) either because they would have to care that the peoples who read it are "customers" (so, students..). I think you don`t understand the law you`ve mentioned correctly *my oppinion* Anyway.. I hope Theo will write a little statement if that policy is accaptable or not. Because such stuff influence my [hardware] decissions directly.. Kind regards, Sebastian -- Don't buy anything from YeongYang. Their Computercases are expensiv, they WTX-powersuplies start burning and their support refuse any RMA even there's still some warenty.
