'The Judges decided that these acts of downloading and uploading qualified as private copying' Ars Technica has more coverage on the subject, or you can read it in english from the organization that lead the defense."

    France has always been notoriously pro-consumer. So much so that it drives businesses away. In droves.

    Yay socialism.
