Well, it looks like the b.m.s. version of the Hanssler Bach Edition will
only be available to buyers in EU in the future.

   The Hanssler Verlag Successfully Blocks Further Sales of the
   illegal Bach-Edition.

   Continuing in their legal actions, Haenssler Verlag GmbH has
   succeeded in blocking further sales and distribution of the
   illegal Bach-Edition from the Czech Republic.

   The court has issued provisional orders to suppliers in Germany
   to halt shipment of the Czech edition. Among those named were
   Accent Bookshop, H'Art Music, Rhenania, Grosser & Stein, 2001
   Versand, Frolich and Kaufmann, etc.

   Hanssler Verlag achieved an additional "cease and desist"
   order against TTV 2000 GmbH for the illegal export of the
   Czech edition into regions expressly FORBIDDEN by the contract
   - including the USA.  Hannsler Verlag cautioned TTV 2000 and
   TTV 2000 agreed, under threat of penalty, to cease illegal
   export into countries outside the EU.

   Hanssler Verlag GmbH and its distributed label "hanssler
   Classic" will at this time, enter a complaint with the public
   prosecutor's office to halt further sale of the Czech Bachedition
   and seek damages resulting from the illegal edition's sale.
   As evidence of the contractual breach became evident, official
   warnings and "cease and desist" orders were issued; the
   decisions of the regional courts Hamburg and Cologne have
   encouraged Haenssler Verlag to use every available means in
   order to seek both Civil and Criminal damages from all parties
   complicit in the breach of the license agreement by the Czech
   licensee through distribution of the illegal Edition.
