§75 c - It is not permitted to circumvent effective technological measures without the consent of the rightholder.

[...]

(4). Effective technological measures in subsections (1) and (2) shall mean any kind of effective technological measures which, in the normal course of their operation, are intended to protect works and other subject matter, etc. protected under this Act.

Stk. 2 also creates some draconian rules that basically prohibits you from creating tools that help others circumvent copyright protection.

It is not permitted to circumvent effective technological measures

Germany has a similar law and unless it was changed it is legal to circumvent ineffective technological measures which means if you can circumvent it it is ineffective, making the entire law kind of pointless, because how would you circumvent something that can't be circumvented.

The Danish word "effektiv" I believe carries the meaning "not amateurishly put together" so it might be more of a grey zone leaning into illegal still. Some might after all still call a vaccine effective if it "only" prevents 95% of infections against a certain virus and has a 2% risk of certain moderate side effects.

But interesting tid bit as it's also relevant in a Danish context. I didn't know about it.
