Interesting that it does not address the issues that consumers have with these laws. For instance the growth in Licensing a product rather than owning one - with the restriction in consumer rights that it entails - and for ebooks the restrictions on usage (including transfer between devices due to normal upgrades etc).
As an aside:
I have often wondered how a musician (and his descendants?) can earn money for many years`from 'one performance' issued on a CD - compare this to a musician in say the 18th century, and compare to the rest of us, whose creative work, once done and money earned, has gone.
Piracy - well I understand the argument, but, in some cases, have little sympathy.
