That law doesn't exist and that's not how law works. Law does not specify what is allowed, only what isn't. Breaking encryption isn't.
It exists in Sweden. We are allowed to make private copies of movies, music and whatever. If I want to rip a CD and give it to my family and friends that is 100% legal. But it's not legal to sell the copies.
Didn't realize the DMCA applied in Sweden.
Many European countries (and companies there in) listen to and respect DMCA takedown requests and my point is that it does not apply to individuals. So yes, it applies in Sweden too. Maybe after Trump is done destroying the diplomatic relationships with Europe we can finally start not giving a shit about DMCA.
We're not talking about takedown requests, we're talking about bypassing DRM.
Fair enough. We have the EUCD here and as I mentioned we cooperate with America to uphold copyright. I don't know exactly what is EU law and US law but they seem pretty similar. Ether way, our personal rights here reign supreme. Doesn't matter if it's copy protected.
What are you talking about? Law absolutely can specify that something is allowed.
The right for a private good exists. In the same way different countries exist, different views in copyright and the right to backup exists.
We were talking about laws, not rights or views.
