By the way the copyright holder or the associated operators may acquire personal information by applying the DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology to the work. And a specific person may obtain the privacy information in the process to incapacitate the technological protection measures. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the privacy for allowing the incapacitating of the technological protection measures. In connection with this DRM technology, structure and content of the provision on the technological protection measures provided under the copyright law is the same in basic structure and content of the provision on the technological protection measures of the U.S. copyright law.
