Bono says he’ll sue France over HADOPI
,----[ Quote ]
| French European Parliament MP Guy Bono says he’ll call for legal action
| against France if it adopts the corporate entertainment cartel’s HADOPI law.
|
| Pushed by French president Nicolas Sarkozy on behalf of Vivendi Universal,
| EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music, and Time Warner, Viacom, Fox, Sony, NBC
| Universal and Disney, France’s lower house of Parliament has passed
| the “three-strikes” law, also known as the HADOPI law.

Has HADOPI Driven the French Insane?
,----[ Quote ]
| I refer, of course, to the infamous HADOPI law, which aims to deprive French
| citizens of their Internet connection purely on the say-so of French media
| companies. Doesn't sound like much égalité, fraternité there, does it? That's
| bad enough; but it seems that this bad legislation is leading to even worse
| knock-on consequences.

| Now, one aspect not evident from the legalistic mumbo-jumbo above is that
| this spyware may well not support GNU/Linux:
|
| The Assembly also postponed a handful of amendments that sought to exempt
| the subscriber if the system is not interoperable with software security,
| with the first assumption that it uses a system that is too old. An "old"
| Windows with expensive software installed on, for example. Or a free
| software ...
|
| An amendment sought to nip in the bud the potential for discrimination
| technological and financial background of interoperability ( "the means
| of secure, freely available to consumers, are interoperable). But again,
| it was rejected by the rapporteur implacably Franck Riester and the
| Minister of Culture, Christine Albanel.
