Subject: [Leica] Blocked for international traffic

The story was in the Danish newspaper Politiken a few days ago. It is true 
that they are blocking traffic frfom non-US IP addresses. The motivation was 
supposedly that they were worried about DOS attacks.

But there is a simple workaround, if you really want to see it (a big IF), 
then just add a period after the URL, i.e. www.georgewbush.com.

Cheers,
Nathan
