We don't live in Greece so her laws (which she still hasn't told us the name of so we can check it out) is meaningless here in the U.S. Like other members here I feel that this is a matter of broken trust. Maybe on this site it matters if the code is hidden, but according to the law it doesn't matter if she tells anyone of not, because it's not supposed to be distruibuted in the U.S and is a violation under section 18(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)). I'm sorry, but I'm very disapointed in vb.org even allowing a hack like this on this wonderful site

Please provide a link/quote to the chapters you are refering to.

All i could find is: http://www.fda.gov/opacom/laws/ftca.htm
? 57a. Unfair or deceptive acts or practices rulemaking proceedings


This is clearly talking about "unfair" or "deceptive". I don't see either applying to this modification.

I am not a lawyer, and if you know more about this, then please provide both a quote of the text you mean and an explanation.
