Which in my country would result in a direct lawsuit ($303b of the
german law code: "Anschlaege auf die Datenverarbeitung durch
Veraenderung oder Vernichtung von Computerdaten, Datentraegern oder
Anlagen") against the vendor of the drive, the computer and the CD.
Thank goodness, I'm living in a country where "law enforcement at gun
point" is not usual.
