Do you mean the DMCA? Isn't that American? And what is a unilaterally

I can not remember the relevant European legislation, IPRED, IPRES2?
The DMCA has more name recognition.
It gives the DTVA absolute control over the consumer electronics
industry and therefore the public.
It gives them control over what functions the equipment will perform,
time shifting, copying etc
The consumer electronics industry has absolute control over me?
OH NOES! Is my iPod making me type this now? HALP!
You might want to see a doctor about that.
Restricts the functionality, rather than controls ?
