A new website has been launched which aims to calrify the murky area of the European Union legislation as regards copyright and how that legislation is implemented amongst the European member states.
The EUCD, European Union Copyright Directive, legislation is basically a European version of American DMCA legislation, allowing content owners to restrict consumers' ability to use, backup or modify content that they have purchased by making it illegal to circumvent technical copy protection measures.
The site is a joint operation between Elaborate Bytes (the makers of CloneDVD), RankOne Media Group, Free University of Amsterdam and several academic authors across the continent.
