Perhaps a useful place to register grass-roots opinion on industry
pressure to increase copyright terms for audio recordings. And
any other issues, like the recent court decision in the UK to
outlaw mod chips, despite there being plenty of non-infringing
uses for such devices. Not to mention the macrovision decision
in german courts - there's no way macrovision (the analogue form)
can be considered an "effective protection measure" under EU
definition of the term.
