EU Crypto Free Trade Area

[Nicholas Bohm]

A further point I intended to make on the 1995 Export Control Regulations
is that they control the export of GOODS.  This is reflected in the note I
quoted, with its references to sales from stock at retail outlets.

Software can of course take the form of goods (as music can take the form
of records), but it does not necessarily do so (as a concert performance is
not a sale of goods).  Diskettes and CDs containing software are no doubt
controlled, but the Regulations do not appear to affect software downloaded
from a website or attached to an email.

	Regards,
