> Not to be left out, the EU of course has its own answer to the USA's
> ever-popular Digital Millennium Copyright Act - THE EUROPEAN UNION
> COPYRIGHT DIRECTIVE. The former-Free-Sklyarov guys (now called "the
> Campaign for Digital Rights") are currently gathering a fellowship of
> dissenters to try and toss some of its more extreme sanctions back
> into Mount Doom, and are holding their first public planning meeting
> in Cambridge in a couple of weeks' time (Sat 2002-02-23). No confirmed
> venue so far, but that's because you haven't RSVPd yet (to
> miniconf at uk.eurorights.org ) so they'll know how many people are
> coming. Full details will be in next week's issue, so if you're a
> reverse-engineer, an activist, a librarian, an ISP, or just generally
> concerned about the dark shroud of copy protection spreading across
> the once-carefree internet, then it should definitely be a fun day
> out.
