As far as I know, the use of "effective technological protection measure"
comes from the language in the WCT and TPM-protection legislation:

WCT: "Contracting Parties shall provide adequate legal protection and
effective legal remedies against the circumvention of effective
technological measures that are used by authors in connection with the
exercise of their rights under this Treaty or the Berne Convention and that
restrict acts, in respect of their works, which are not authorized by the
authors concerned or permitted by law."

DMCA: "No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively
controls access to a work protected under this title."

European Copyright Directive: "Member States shall provide adequate legal
protection against the circumvention of any effective technological
measures, which the person concerned carries out in the knowledge, or with
reasonable grounds to know, that he or she is pursuing that objective."

Regards,

Andres

Forwarded message from debian-legal, and a point I'd missed. I can't imagine
that there's a reason to have one be "technical measures" and the other be
"effective technical measures"... is there?
