Since ie developed the thing, ultimately, it came from us. It wouldn't really matter how it got out.
I was hoping (stupidly it seems) that things like the EUCD and DMCA would be thought of as rather a bad idea and be scrapped. Well, actually, I have never thought that. But I did think they would remove the stupid clauses about communication of information (which are almost human rights infringements)... I did think they would add excemptions that specifically allowed preservation institutions to work in an open manner...
Maybe one day. We will do it eventually, but right now, the legal guidance is on these issues is as clear as mud.
