I've posted some thoughts:
http://weatherall.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_weatherall_archive.html#110186612070834709
The temporary copy stuff is a bit troubling, because they've narrowed the
exceptions even more, with the result that a whole lot of temporary copies
are now going to be infringements. This could make it a lot harder, in the
long term, to argue that technological protection measures are not
"preventing infringements". In particular, as I read the temporary copy
stuff, not only all playing of unauthorised DVDs/Movies is now going to be
an infringement, but also quite a lot of playing of authorised copies made
overseas could potentially be infringing. and THAT could mean that
circumvention devices aimed at getting over market segmentation practices
will definitely become illegal.
Cheers
Kim
