It is interesting how with the many copyright and data protection acts and rules, that the EU is, in effect creating a whole new type of decentralised firewall for content for want of another way of perceiving it all. Though this is a firewall for the people against business practice/malpractices. Which is a good thing. I'm sure there will be many cases of this causing issues, but on the whole, it does fall in the favour of the end-user, us the people. I say firewall, more an IDS that reacts to breaches. But it is good how they are at least not ignoring and overlooking such details and this is a fine example of it being well thought out.
