Peter Gutmann sez:

: What makes this case especially awkward is the fact that the CDROM can't
: legally be sold outside the US, which means the only way the rest of the world
: can get it is through illegal copies. Given the immense usefulness of
: something like this, I'd say it's only a matter of time before bootleg copies
: start appearing outside the US, but because of the USG's position we can't pay
: for it even if we want to (DDJ wouldn't look too good if they accepted payment
: for what they knew was illegally exported crypto). Perhaps a donation of the
: same amount to charity would serve as some equivalent to payment...
