German Library Allowed To Crack Copy Protection (1/20/2005) Slashdot reports that the Deutsche Bibliothek, Germany's national library and bibliographic information center, has been granted official authorization to crack and duplicate protected e-books and other digital media, making it a notable exception to the European Copyright Directive (EU Directive 2001/29/EU), which states it is "a criminal offence to break or attempt to break the copy protection or access control systems on digital content such as music, videos, eBooks, and software". The library argued that such restrictions prevented it from fulfilling its legal mandate to collect, process, and index important German and German-language based works. |
