In this case, the author is using the alternate meaning of effectively, which is to say, "for all practical purposes." So one might also write it as "a technological measure that has the effect of controlling access to a work blah blah..." The author may have wanted to imply a vague concept of access control, for whatever reason.
Gotta get a "Don't blame me--I voted for Cthulhu!" bumper sticker.
I don't care for his stances on mind-control and human genocide (both pro), but he's good on family values. And if it means no gay marriage, well I guess I can accept a little civilization-crushing and waste-laying.
At a hastily arranged press conference today, Alain Levy, Chair of EMI Music, announced EMI's new pony giveaway program.

Asked if EMI would be revising its stance on selling DRM'd music CD's, Levy replied, "What, are you nuts or something? That's just crazy talk. Keep dreaming, pal."

It does until someone tells little Johnny to DMZ his machine so his game will work.
Fix: use router passphrases that the delinquent is unlikely to guess, like "work is its own reward" or "idle hands are the devil's tools"
They're like the Imperial Stormtroopers of litigation.

Keyboard porn.
Make it a puzzle - like Concentration. You have to match up items. Each matched set of items is replaced with a section of the final image.
I suppose the final image could be anything. Doesn't have to be porn. Funny - that was the first thing that sprang to mind...

This would put the Great Firewall of China to shame, and you have to know that somebody in the justice department is thinking about doing it.
Well sure, now they are!
Sheesh.

...collecting a comprehensive set of podcasts on how to withstand a slashdotting...
From TFA:
In an interview in Nicosia, Hadjisterkotis said that for years he had been collecting the remains of mice that had been eaten by owls ...
He reminds me of Egon from Ghostbusters:
Janine Melnitz: Do you have any hobbies?
Dr. Egon Spengler: I collect spores, molds, and fungus.

Drat. Now I'll have to go shopping for a surface-less table. Perhaps "Klein Bottles-R-Us" has what I need...
Regretfully, the role of the giant sandworm will be played by jar jar binks.
Look, Muad'Dib ... Lamesign!
And the money will drive a wedge of mistrust between us all.
