Are dmca and copyright laws liberal in Germany?
Idk, I'm not a German, I'm Russian: in Russia is no DMCA or similar law, and the copyright laws are softer: everyone is free to make backups of protected software, everyone is allowed to hack/reseaech any software in condition to get it working when it can't work in pure state because of bugs, or just get the understanding how it works in real. It's a paragraph of the Civil Codex of RF where that specified. Copyruster (a jerk who is copyright owner) can't say "nuke" until he will confirm that he owns that by documents. Otherwise any hooligan would masquerade like copyright owner and cause removal of potentially legal stuff.
