[Fsfe-uk] Fwd: [Debian-uk] UK Prepares Own Version of the DMCA

[MJ Ray]

Thanks to Coops for this.  Apologies for copying the post to another list.


Just pulled from /.

"I've just been informed by the UK Patent Office, below, that the EUCD
(European Union Copyright Directive, the equivalent EU legislation to
the DMCA) consultation paper has been released. It's important that we
give feedback to the UK government that this legislation will have a
chilling effect on the software industry."

Why is the UK the only ones doing this, when it is a European Directive?
