Re: [Drm-elimination-crew] DRM in Portugal

[Marcos Marado]

DRM keeps being legal, but breaking DRM starts being legal too.
DRM as you know makes to technological sense (key and lock in the same hands), thus being so easy to break. Problem is that legally you can't break it. That seems to be about to change in Portugal.

This looks interesting, Marcos, but I'm having trouble finding good information about it in English, and this post has a lot of acronyms I can't identify. Do you have any more resources about this decision?

Am I to understand that the Portuguese laws regarding DRM may be about to make it illegal? Or just change it some how? That's my main question. It would be great if you could keep us posted on this. Thanks.
