Ominous Copyright advice, MAFIAA will love it
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, June 26 2012 @ 05:06 PM EDT
"Categories based on concepts, such as time and space, the meaning of which becomes highly ambiguous in the world of virtual reality, are rendered ineffective by the networked configuration of a global communication medium, the content of which is constantly being renewed and which even today remains highly resistant to the discipline of a legislative framework that can be effective and efficient only if it is set up with the support of the international community of States as a whole," he said.
Beautiful prose, if you're used to reading these sorts of things. Maybe I misread, but I came away with the impression that for an offence to have occurred the law must have been transgressed in both the country of emission and the country of reception. Mind you, only where those countries are subject to the EU Database Directive.

So yes, the XXAA may well twist it to mean something else.
