"Copyright issues
Although a parody can be considered a derivative work under United States Copyright Law it can be protected under the fair use of 17 USC 107. In 2001, the Federal Court of Appeals, 11th District in Suntrust v. Houghton Mifflin upheld the right of Alice Randall to publish a parody of Gone with the Wind called The Wind Done Gone, which told the same story from the point of view of Scarlett O'Hara's slaves, who were glad to be rid of her.
See also the Supreme Court of the United States case Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. regarding the song Oh, Pretty Woman."

vmbuilder works great for me. all you need is an iso in the same directory as the vmx file. open notepad copy your code in save it as ".vmx" and you are good to go.

agreed. don't hide behind the EU.
"If the US were so inclined, it could shut off an entire country from the web. This is unacceptable."
