Re: Run by the French Underground said by BabyBear:Surprised the french citizens are putting up with this, usually they don't take kindly to others telling them what they can/can't do. Just like in the US, there is no media that will present the issue objectively, and there is no politician that's both technologically knowledgeable and ballsy enough to make a stink about this on prime time news reports.
So most people see this as a law to "prevent evil pirates to steal the latest American Idol's CD", and buy into the "CD's are expensive because they get stolen a lot by pirates" stories from the major labels
Wait until the first false positives happen, and then we'll see how many react. But noone will get off their ass until sh*t hits the fan...
