You're probably also familiar with the laws that make it illegal to write your own tools to bypass those restrictions, like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the European Union Copyright Directive. Nobody should be able to stop you from writing any code that you want, and GPLv3 protects this right for you. It's always possible to use GPLed code to write software that implements DRM. However, if someone does that with code protected by GPLv3, section 3 says that the system will not count as an effective technological "protection" measure. This means that if you break the DRM, you'll be free to distribute your own software that does that, and you won't be threatened by the DMCA or similar laws. As usual, the GNU GPL does not restrict what people do in software; it just stops them from restricting others. " What are the countries that have the laws that make it illegal to write your own tools to bypass restrictions, like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the European Union Copyright Directive?
