That depends on the law. Almost all computer users I know have several
Crazy Bytes or Twilight CD-ROMs, so that says enough. I'd say that this
type of laws is as much respected here as trafic rules for bycycles in
Amsterdam.

But further, I still don't know how a company _can_ patent IDEA in Europe.
As far as I know, European laws don't permit it.

I had not thought of that point. If this is the case I can understand his
position.
