Hi Loic,
I am just starting to get involved with GNU and FSF and I wouldn't be very informed but I think one very strong reason for having copyrights in
Europe
is the difference in LAW.
America has very unfreindly laws concerning encryption and media
protection
of certain broadcast formats.
European law from what I currently know better provides for an
international
community which must be better for FSF and its associated personalities.

As I posted previously, Irish law appears to have a similar law to the DMCA. Do you know if there are Irish organisations working to get this law changed?
