Article 308 prohibits evading, without authorization, an effective technological measure that controls access to a protected work, performance, execution or phonogram, and prohibits manufacturing, importing, distributing, offering or providing to the public a technology, product, service or device designed for that purpose. The article carries listed exceptions, including good-faith activity by a computer, system or network owner testing or correcting its own security.
This provision reaches circumventing a technical access control placed on copyrighted material, a narrower question than the general unauthorized-access offence in the Ley Especial contra los Delitos Informáticos y Conexos.
