>From the EUCD (2001/29/EC) Article 6 (3), we have in English English:
the expression "technological measures" means any technology, device or
component that, in the normal course of its operation, is designed to
prevent or restrict acts, in respect of works or other subject-matter,
which are not authorised by the rightholder of any copyright or any
right related to copyright as provided for by law or the sui generis
right provided for in Chapter III of Directive 96/9/EC.
Please explain why this doesn't include file permissions or any of the
other examples previously posted. File permissions seem to be a
technology designed to prevent or restrict unauthorised acts.

Once we were told FDL's development is none of our business, I think
some of us maybe moved on after collating the most obvious problems.
