English Computer Misuse Act 

The section on the English Computer Misuse Act is completely, utterly wrong. This law protects computer users from unauthorized access to the data on their own computers, treating the owner of the computer as the owner of the data. Thus, it criminalizes attacks on other people's computers. It has nothing to do with protecting copyright-holders from unauthorized access performed by a user on his own computer. Therefore, the example of the music CD is right off-target. Indeed, the CMA probably affords protection in the opposite direction - Sony's CD rootkit DRM could well be illegal under the CMA.
