Some chilling stuff to read, I save your time and copy-paste one nasty piece:
296ZB. (1) A person commits an offence if he—
(a) makes for sale or hire, or
(b) imports otherwise than for his private and domestic use, or
(c) in the course of a business—
(i) sells or lets for hire, or
(ii) offers or exposes for sale or hire, or
(iii) advertises for sale or hire, or
(iv) possesses, or
(v) distributes, or
(d) distributes otherwise than in the course of a business to such an extent as to affect prejudicially the copyright owner
any device, product or component which is primarily designed, produced, or adapted for the purpose of enabling or facilitating the circumvention of effective technological measures.
So, to put it simply, you're violating the law if you let other people to download DVD rippers. Or some tools that allow copying copy-protected audio CDs. Or WMAs. etc... And same applies to sites that operate within EU -- distributing such tools is a criminal offence after 1st of January, 2003. Good hosting providers in Far East, anyone?-)
