I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "In response to a query from a member of the EU Parliament, an EU commissioner issued an official statement (.DOC) saying that, while they do not violate any laws, secret printer tracking dot codes may violate the human right to privacy guaranteed by the EU's Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. If you don't remember what these are, Slashdot has covered this before. In short, most color printers print small yellow dots printed on every sheet in a code that identifies the printer and potentially its owner. The EFF is running an awareness campaign, and there are people trying to decipher them."
