Monthly waste of time :-) Has anyone been able to buy a Digital TV USB stick in Israel and get it to work under Linux?

That's an interesting point. What exactly would you sue for? In Israel  
you can only claim damages equal to the amount you were actually  
damaged. Not only that, but buying an infringing work is not illegal  
in Israel.

AFAIK there is no requirement for the GPL notification, offer of  
source code, etc to be in any particular language. Can you say with  
100% certainty that it is not included in the Chinese documentation  
you (or the importer) threw out unread? Or that if you went into setup  
and clicked on ABOUT, you would not see such a message?

Finally why not? Almost everything I have bought here that includes a  
GPL notification does so in English (not Hebrew) and points to a web  
site for information on how to obtain source code.
