Thank god for the EU court ruling. European national courts tend to be pretty biased against user rights, see Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Good to know that there is a body stopping unfair corporate interests.


No - it says national courst can't do this - this leaves the door open to a cross-border Eu law (written by the MPAA) which will ban it.

And then this ruling says that national courts can't introduce a looser law of their own.
