Meh, that's overrated...Read the title and thought they had imposed permanent, global speed limits on the Autobahn. I was about to cry. At least it was just something with copyright protection...
Most autobahn's near major metropolitan areas have speed limits for long stretches anyway...
Besides - my car only goes 144 km/h (downhill with the wind behind us) - recommended driving speed is 130 km/h (80 mph)

Yeah, I know they've started imposing speed limits in populated areas... I've also heard that traffic is getting significantly worse, though I don't know if that's true or not. Of course, the Nürburgring still lets people out on the track for a fairly reasonable fee, as far as I know, and as long as that continues to be the case I could be mostly happy...
And it sounds like you need a faster car
though, of course you'd end up paying more for gas to keep it fed too...

Wow, that's terrible. I foresee serious backlash followed by at least one modification to this "law". I mean, you can't even back up what you own in the event of a natural disaster or something. If you buy something on iTunes, does that mean you can't put it on your iPod? It has to stay on your computer forever? And if you buy a new computer, you have to transplant the hard drive or lose everything you bought? If you follow such a law to the letter, that's what it basically amounts to.
