The neutrality of this article is not disputed. It is in fact entirely absent. -Ahruman 15:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence about criminalizing discussion about circumventing DRM's was heavily exaggerated. The bill says (50 b §): "Tehokkaan teknisen toimenpiteen kiertämisen mahdollistavia tai sitä helpottavia palveluja ei liioin saa tarjota.", roughly "Services that make possible or facilitate the circumvention of effective technical [copy prevention] measures may not be offered, either." The preamble says that "services" refers to organised or commercial deciphering services, and that e.g. giving circumvention instructions in newspaper articles, e-mails or education would not count as such. I've altered the sentence accordingly. –Mysid(t) 07:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The name "Lex Karpela" is not official, and only used by certain circles. I will move the article under a more appropriate name, if no-one opposes. I suggest "2005 amendment to the Finnish Copyright Law and Criminal Code", or the same non-capitalized. –Mysid(t) 16:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just a final note: I've rewritten the article completely by translating from the Finnish Wikipedia, resolving the POV issue. –Mysid(t) 08:24, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
