Eurocrats to criminalise buskers singing "Yesterday"

Rupes says that the 54-page long document has lots of meat in there that could make €urocitizens' lives a living hell and get you banged up for such crimes as busking Yesterday in public - and so breaching copyright - as well as putting way too much power in the hand of vendors and way too little €urocitizens' way.

Some examples could include using non-Sony batteries with a Sony MP3 player, getting time in the slammer for finding out whether you've RFID tags in your clothes, or using unauthorised tyres on your Sinclair C6.

As Rupes points out, in his article here, it's turning intellectual property into thought crime. µ
