In general I think we might be better off with just trying to explain as succinctly as possible what it is we're worried about, rather than trying to suggest new wording. We don't want to pretend to be experts in drafting legislation when we're not. (At least, I'm not; maybe others on the list are more qualified.) Maybe our best bet is to press the point that the set of permitted acts is part of the "copyright bargain" that the public has made with rights-holders, and rights-holders should not be allowed to "trump" those permissions by using protection-measures.
Right. thanks for all the comments, I'll go with this advice and just say as little as possible to express our concerns without suggesting an alternate wording.
I've got a foul cold at the moment so might not make this evening, but will try to call in for a bit at least.
ok. All previous meetings have been adjourned by the barman telling us that the pub is closing, so if you drop in late, I'm sure we'll still be there. Or if you want to drop in before 8, just mail the list and some people will also turn up early (as we've done in the past).
