Thanks Ian and Teresa (esp. for the link) for getting back to me. The PDF with the text will make much more interesting (train or bedtime) reading given your views on how it could be used. Georg Greve's opinion will focus us more. To follow up on David's post, if circumvention of 'Dodgy DRM' is criminalised, then also behind bars will be those using media players with libdvdcss enabled, or those who simply have it on their distro without even knowing? Next obvious question; have we in the EU learned anything from Dmitri Sklyrov and the eBook reader? Looks like we haven't. What I really can't wait to find out is "What IS IP (when it's at home)". Seems to be a moving target which is why Stallman focused on it. Comparing with the Patents Directive, this looks like "same destination, different route".
