In Run up to the [DRM day of action](http://defectivebydesign.org/en/actions/oct3list), been reading through the UK laws in such riverting documents as the “[Digital Rights Management: Report of an Inquiry by the All Party Internet Group](http://skippy.org.uk/wp-content/APIG_DRM_Report-final.pdf)” which is a lovely 30 page document, with such gems as
- #105 We recommend that the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) bring forward appropriate labelling regulations so that it will become crystal clear to consumers what they will and will not be able to do with digital content that they purchase.
- #113 We recommend that the OFT labelling regulations we proposed, in #105 above, should ensure that the risks are clearly spelled out, at the point of purchase, whenever consumers could lose access to digital content if systems are discontinued, or devices fail, or players are replaced by systems from a different manufacturer.
- #118 We recommend that OFCOM publish guidance to make it clear that companies distributing TPM systems in the UK would, if they have features such as those in Sony-BMG’s MediaMax and XCP systems, run a significant risk of being prosecuted for criminal actions
My Stickers came yesterday, so i think i will have to find some thing to do with them, like help inform the public of the dangers of DRM (as defined above).
