France

For now in France, Intellectual Property Laws aren't really enforced, like in many countries. However, the French Government is working on a new law's proposition: __ The Hadopi Law __ Hadopi: //Haute Autorité pour la Diffusion des Oeuvres et la Protection des droits sur Internet// alias, in english, //High authorities for medias' broadcasting and internet's rights protection// [En]: I've to make a windows update... Can I ???

If you're an english speaker and want to know more about this law, i strongly advice you to read these document attached. You'd have some difficulties to find another place where this law is that easily understandable. It may be tomorrow's policy around the world. Be aware. E-mail me at ntenenbaum@fredericksburgacademy.org if you have any questions.
