The Directive has been widely criticized on the account of its allegedly draconian approach, said by some to mimic the American Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). So strong was the criticism, in fact, in particular from telecommunications industry and parts of computer industry, that the original draft was substantially changed. A number of problems still remain in the final document, according to the international civil liberties organization IP Justice.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A tailor can adapt to any medium, be it poetry, be it criticism. As a poet, he can mend, and with the scissors of criticism he can divide.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
