As I read it, the new clauses are trying to restrict the ability to use software to implement or enforce DRM. To me that's the fundamental philosophical change -- that v3 is going to restrict use instead of continuing to guarantee freedoms.
The *AA abuses of DRM technology should not require v3 to ban the use of that technology. Rather, it should continue to mandate that the implementations of that technology must be open.
Issues over the abuses of the technology should be handled in the proper venue: the courts and legislative bodies of the countries affected. Not in a licensing document.
