  Remember this quote?

  on Innovation Asymmetry: Why The Copyright Industry Always Freaks Out About New Technologies
  "The past, in general, is over-represented in Washington. The future has no lobbyists."
  
  Short and sweet. But some elaboration will help develop policy further.

  Maybe this needs more clarity? (as sacamano)

  on Germany Says Nein To Private Copying
  A brief review of this web page might lead to a slightly different story. The Law discussed above seems to leave the private copy unharmed, but only for unprotected content. Circumvention now becomes illegal, whig is, indeed, a local implementation of EU regulation. (Maybe they even mean CSS!)
  
  However, making a copy of an obviously illegal piece of content will become illegal; apparently everything you download from p2p-networks would fall into this category unless the copyright holder has stated otherwise.
