Subject: Shift key breaks CD copy locks

That's awesome man...I couldn't have said it better.  Censorship laws
are very dangerous because they can be selectively enforced by law
enforcement with the benefit of confusing a jury.

If you wanted to take the ATF's approach, it's not just having a
keyboard that is breaking the law, it's the combination of having a
keyboard AND the Windows operating system installed....since the
protection doesn't work on the UNIX operating system you will be safe if
you erase your hard drive and install Linux.
