Well, I think it made it virtually unworkable.
I think this is an important point. People often talk about the need for respect for copyright and claim that a whole generation today doesn't respect copyright. Well, I have to say that in some ways, it works both ways. A law that tells people that it is illegal to record a television show or that in order for it to be legal, you have to be able to tick 12 boxes, doesn't engender any kind of respect for copyright.
To create that kind of respect, we need forward-looking laws, but we also need a certain amount of trust among the public to recognize that we're going to treat them as adults and that this is the framework, and there's some flexibility built into that framework. Otherwise, people look at this law and say that this is just utter nonsense.
