I'm no expert at all, but going after EUCD in europa is one hard nut to crack! The guidelines are extremely vague, and all the members of the EU can "edit and alter" the EUCD to their own likings.
One thing surely stands out:
"One limitation is obligatory: transient or incidental copying as part of a network transmission or legal use. Hence internet service providers are not liable for the data they transmit, even if it infringes copyright."
