I read it through the other day (allow plenty of time).
I was actually very impressed. Overall, the message is something like
"TPMs are very new and we have no idea whether they are going to prove
to give an advantage to users, producers or intermediaries, so the
government should be very careful about introducing any legislation
regarding them". There's an interesting part towards the end, though,
mentioning various political reasons why the government may feel
compelled to do so (e.g. so as to not annoy our trading partners).
