Anti-Circumvention

Anti-circumvention refers to laws and measures designed to prevent people from bypassing legal protections or restrictions, particularly in the context of copyright and intellectual property. For example, if a software or digital content is protected by copyright, anti-circumvention laws make it illegal to use tools or methods to evade those protections, such as hacking or creating unauthorized copies. These laws aim to safeguard the rights of creators and ensure that their work is not exploited or misused without permission.
