HAVE YOUR SAY Free speech does not exist in our country and we regulate far too many things Alecs, Swansea Send us your comments "There has been a lot of misunderstanding. The key that has been leaked has now been revoked." The leak of the key meant that some HD-DVD titles could have their copy protection removed and then could be watched on two different software players. The leak of the key did not affect hardware players, he said. But he accepted that DVDs that had had their copy protection removed were "now in the clear" and could be copied.

Thaspian	Date: May 6, 2007 @ 4:36 PM This isn't free speech. The law says don't circumvent copy protection, and that's what they did. That's like saying downloading a song is 'free speech' - it's not, it's copyright infringement. I don't agree with it, I think the law is fucking ridiculous, and I think it interferes with free speech, but it says that's not free speech.
ChillinBuzz	Date: May 10, 2007 @ 1:20 AM The law also allowed a backup of your purchase for your own purposes, as long as it didn't include mass copying and sharing with other... If the disc is copy protected then you're stuck with a situation whereby the law allows you to do something but when you do it, it's seen to be breaking said law. That doesn't make sense.
