What it requires

  • Do not evade an effective technological measure controlling access to a protected work, and do not make, import, distribute or offer a technology or device designed to do so, absent authorization.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Article 308 prohibits evading, without authorization, an effective technological measure controlling access to a protected work, and trafficking in circumvention devices and services (English as in the pinpoint above). It imposes no duty to create, keep, produce or review a log or record. The Law's remedies and criminal-code referral in the same article are penalties, not record duties. No territorial clause appears in the article, so no hook is recorded.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Article 308 prohibits evading, without authorization, an effective technological measure that controls access to a protected work, performance, execution or phonogram, and prohibits manufacturing, importing, distributing, offering or providing to the public a technology, product, service or device designed for that purpose. The article carries listed exceptions, including good-faith activity by a computer, system or network owner testing or correcting its own security.

This provision reaches circumventing a technical access control placed on copyrighted material, a narrower question than the general unauthorized-access offence in the Ley Especial contra los Delitos Informáticos y Conexos.
