Hmmm, so are we conceding defeat on the anti-circumvention issue?

So far as I can see, the litmus test of whether we have succeeded or 
failed is whether DeCSS would be illegal in Ireland after ICA2000 is 
modified.  Are we now accepting that it would be illegal and there is 
nothing we can do about it?
