Hey.
    Just browsing Slashdot when I saw this story:

    In short, checkmate against US consumers, but the UK via The European
Union is still negotiable. This treaty completely legalizes digital rights
management (e.g., "copy-protection") for the entertainment industry,
regardless of our national laws. I'm unclear how this compliments or
overlaps with the EUCD.
