New Copyright law in germany... Here it comes.

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Pretty soon we'll all be f*cked. It's now illegal in Germany to circumvent measures of copy-protection, even for your private copy. So no backup anymore if it's copy-protected, in other words: the publisher alone decides whether you are allowed to make a backup or not. Way to go.

If you can vote in Germany, maybe sign up here:

I realy thought about making a thread about this but I didn't have enough time to do so when it happened. Basicaly, Germany has it's own little version of the DMCA now. I have reasons for the text in my location field.
