1 edit | Re: Its a double wedged sword... +1 the "aa"s need to zip it and make their own ISP. and it did not work in last in Australia. Maybe the rest of the world just needs to see it don't work. OR the aas need to provide their own free videos. Would youtube and veoh count in the 3 strikes thing, I know the both have shady vids. | |

kudos:10 | Amazing How The French... ...still haven't learned their lesson after the Dreyfus Affair. To subjugate their legal system to a third party with a vested interest...
J'accuse. J'accuse. J'accuse.

NYC Metro | Re: Backing by artist's unions make this likely to become law said by matrix3D:Really? Unions don't hold much power in the US? Then why are the Democrats constantly trying to get the union vote every election cycle? Because in a fixed 2 party system like we have in this country, you win national election by less than 5% usually... THIS is why unions and other minority groups become "important."

| | My BS Detector is Flashing Bright Red quote:
In exchange for the new law, the entertainment industry has promised to eliminate DRM from most of their content offerings.
France does not live in a vacuum. If the content aggregators do not remove DRM independent of any new law, French citizens will get what they want elsewhere. They aren't going to get very far offering to remove something that isn't sustainable anyway. | |

| This is the country that legislates analog output on ipods. This is the country where you cannot release a player that outputs more than X power at Y ohms, completely oblivious to the fact that different headphones have different sensitivity ratings. So one pair might still be able to make you deaf, while an upper end set of grados or beyers will sound like trash.
Who expects smart legislation in France? | |
