Effective is very clear in legal drafting - it means that there must be a function that occurs for this purpose, not that it has to succeed. Essentially all "effective" means is that you can't put a piece of paper in the box that says "this is a technical protection measure", you need to have some engineering that is intended to be one. No ambiguity in the drafting here, and if you took your argument to court you would lose.
