As far as I remember, (I did the exam in Dec. 04) there were NO questions regarding the federal laws on the exams (I didn't pass until the third time; 125 questions on the exam, $250.00 a pop for each exam) I took. Same questions on each exam, but in different order. Many questions were regarding programming, inlcuding code snippets of C/C++. I am the world's WORST programmer; translation: I SUCK at programming. I did have a question regarding URL De-obfuscation that was NOT covered in my class. But most of the questions were on programming; buffer overflows, that kind of thing.

I don't know about the laws in your country, but EC-Council while based in New York, seems to do about half of their business overseas; anything you buy from them comes from India, Singapore, that area. They just MIGHT have a presence in your area. can't hurt to look into it and see.
