The Conditional Access Convention, formally the European Convention on the Legal Protection of Services based on, or consisting of, Conditional Access is a convention of the Council of Europe, which requires its parties to make pieces of software that circumvent paywalls for television and radio programmes as well as "information society services".[1] The convention is based on the Conditional Access Directive which already required European Union Member states to enact similar legislation.
