As it stands at the moment a US citizen merely mentioning the URL of the livna archive is committing an offence according the caselaw established by the 2600 magazine lawsuit, let alone the string of offences (some criminal) they may be committing by daring to use software that is legal in the rest of the world. If Fedora were to supply such software then it too be committing offences or at very least aiding and abetting them. Totem built with the right back ends can do pretty much all formats, however most of the back ends have serious problems in the USA, and one or two in the EU as well. Alan
