I have heard for many years now, that military personel are required Not to follow orders they are given that are unlawful. This crosses over to similar rules in the non-military world. If I understand this nonsense about RAM, if I go to the store and buy a new CD, and only play it on my computer, I am violating the law because it has to copy in RAM to play. The very concept of this is insane and logic screams that we must not obey. The same goes for the idea that visiting a web page, and having it copied by my RAM is a violation of the law. These laws are about as stupid as the one a legislator in California tried to pass years ago, that required SEAT BELTS on motorcycles.
I MUST reply to this, but this reply goes to all of these comments.
