    Woo, I am so glad the UK patent office is actually paying attention to the people who this will matter to. A flawed implementation of this act would have meant serious problems like the DCMA has produced in America, maybe with any luck we'll reduce it to something manageable.

    If it is implemented correctly then hopefully we UK linux users will finally be able to play our DVD's without worry and our academics will be able to continue their cryptographical research in peace without legal problems.
