Fears raised over digital rights

A UK consumer watchdog has called for new laws to protect users’ rights to use digital music and movies.

 

The National Consumer Council (NCC) said anti-piracy efforts were eroding established rights to digital media.

 

The NCC had little faith that industry self-regulation would adequately protect consumers’ rights. It made its comments to a parliamentary inquiry into technologies that limit what people can do with CDs, DVDs and downloaded media.
