Text of the draft:
http://www.patent.gov.uk/about/consultations/eccopyright/index.htm
Excerpt (page 14 of PDF):
> A person commits an offence if he—
>(a) makes for sale or hire, or
>(b) imports otherwise than for his private and domestic use, or
>(c) in the course of a business—
>(i) sells or lets for hire, or
>(ii) offers or exposes for sale or hire, or
>(iii) advertises for sale or hire, or
>(iv) possesses, or
>(v) distributes, or
>(d) distributes otherwise than in the course of a business to such an
>extent as to affect prejudicially the copyright owner any device,
>product or component which is primarily designed, produced, or
>adapted for the purpose of enabling or facilitating the circumvention
>of effective technological measures.
Because, based on my quick and preliminary reading, this would ban the
mere possession of circumvention tools, it would be broader than the
U.S. version.

Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 18:46:18 -0400
A consultation paper has finaly been released from the UK Patent
Office about the European Union Copyright Directive, or EUCA. The
paper can be found at http://www.patent.gov.uk/about/contact.htm.
People have been talking for some time about the European equivalent
to the DMCA, and here it is.
