Why do people so often assume DMCA/EUCD is only about copying works? What does DMCA/EUCD really does beyond "copy"? Do you at least know? It prevent access to works... It forbids certain works since they prevent "access to works prevention" (TPM). This is CENSORSHIP. It's not desentivity to real censorship. This is actual and factual censorship (government action).
