Reacting to US and Apple positions about the copyright law, french deputee Christian Paul, who worked hard to defend Free software during the debates, explains the parliament position. "We want to protect consumers' freedom of choice and privacy. We oppose the idea that the seller of a song or any other kind of work can impose on the consumer the way to read it, forever, and especially in consumer's home. It is essential to assure that the consumer can choose whatever device she likes, just as she can use her favorite hi-fi today and does not have to buy a new one for each vendor."

Finaly, A Government that is more interested in protecting the people than large corporations and their monopolies! I guess Apple has not made the donations to the re-election campaigns of enough french government officials. I bet they rectify this before long and this bill won't become law.
