Benjamin Schieder as announced that he will no longer develop the ROCKate LiveCD after German laws reciently became even more fascist than they were during World War II. ROCKate is a Linux LiveCD which includes anonymity software such as Tor. It is clear that the tyrannical German government does not want you or your loved ones to have access to this technology. No. Benjamin announced the following information regarding this at OR-Talk:

Hi people.

In response to a law that passed the german legislative today, I will cease
production, development and distribution of ROCKate binaries and - maybe -
even source code soon.

The reasen is §202c StGB which states (IANAL translation):

“Producing, acquiring, selling, giving, distributing or making-accessible of
passwords or other access codes as well as computer programs whose aim it is
to commi a crime … will be punished with up to one year in jail or a fine.”

Basically, these waters are too hot for me to tread in. Though the official
reading of the wall - reading from politicians that is - says that they only
target ‘criminals’ and there is no need to worry with the wording, nobody
knows when some underworked lawyer thinks he might go on to sue the ass off
of everyone in IT.

If someone wants to mirror/host/develop ROCKate further, be my guest. If you
need technical assistance, I can offer guidance, but I probably won’t write
a single line of code anymore. Sorry.

Greetings, Benjamin

If you are in a country which is slightly more free than Germany and you want to help keep the ROCKate project alive then please do so. It is clear
