I guess this would apply to Ovi Store too.. It's in relation to the proposed "Digital Economy" legislation in the UK

http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog...imbeciles.html is the relevant blog entry. He isn't known for his tendency to understate, but I would think that if you are a sole-trader developer type planning to publish on Ovi Store (or, indeed, the Apple equivalent) you might want to investigate lobbying opportunities before this is set into law.
