        From http://crackmonkey.org/faq.html#ANSWER3 :

In addition to the disclaimer that your home address and e-mail will
be given to targeted advertising groups across the nation, there are
some limitations to the availability of the CrackMonkey unsubscription
software.  First, the software contains encryption, so it cannot be
downloaded by someone living outside of the continental US (our
sophisticated server will check your address for proof of this).
Second, the software contains certain algorithms that are patented
under US patent law, so it cannot be downloaded by someone living in
the United States (our sophisticated server will check your address
for proof of this).
