Agozer Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 After much rejoicing when the french supreme court ruled CD copy protections illegal, this happens: An amendment to the proposed DADVSI bill has the aim of making criminal counterfeiting out of publication, distribution and promotion of all software susceptible to being used to open up data protected by author's right and not integrating a method of controlling and tracking private usage (technical measure). All software permitting downloads is concerned, such as certain instant messaging software (chat) and all server software (P2P, HTTP, FTP, SSH). This surrealist amendment has been redirected from its start by Vivendi Universal, then reworked by many members of the Sirinelli commission, a commission of the High Council of Literary and Artistic Property CSPLA. Wow, they just won't quit. http://eucd.info/index.php?English-readers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
