Definetly not. There is an advisory from the Generalbundesanwaltschaft and the ICTF that ISPs should ('have to') restrict the access to those urls.
But so far nothing happend. I asked some people to try the urls and there where no restrictions. (I encounterd no restrictions myself.)
By the way, I used the name "Schmidt" in my satire post, sent out earlier this morning. I picked that name randomly, being a common German name (cognate to Smith, I believe), and meant nothing with regard to Stephan. (I also don't dislike Germans in general. I studied some German in high school--don't ask me to use it, though!--and have visited Germany. They just have a certain well-known tendency to take the authoritarian path at times.) --Tim We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
