Sorry. Until the directive is enacted into UK law there is no difference, protection or implementation of the directive other than as written. In other words the UK can modify the way in which it is applied, but not stop it, and it applies as a directive, despite the UK law being late. I owudn't get too toxic about the delays, but I would back up the suggestion that if any of us ever wish to buy media we attempt to buy what we want, and consider rejecting whatever we don't want. -- From one of the Linux desktops of Dr Adrian Midgley http://www.defoam.net/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
