This is legal insecuity... 

Actualy, media player will become full-DRM with Windows Vista.  The hole 
idea is to impose DRM to people.  DRM was made to restrict wat the legal 
system did not restrict. This lw wants to impose what is restricting 
what the legal system do not restrict normaly (and much more, for 
example you will not be able to record music from radio or to speak 
about this). All this you are not alowed to speak directly or indirectly 
about this technologies is much like censorship, so i guess i will not 
be aowed to send this email once the law passes.

However, i don't think they will pass it is this form. However, whethet 
they pass it or not, this must teach everyone about how music industry 
actualy  see the world (and the world of intelectual propriety). How 
thay actualy want to controll everyone's acces to information in the 
name of selling proprietary plastic disks. Also, if you sign the 
petition "we are not criminals", how thy want to make free authors 
criminals. Actualy their most enemy in the long term is free music, not 
P2P systems. Actualy p2p systems help free music more than they help 
plastic disks, because someone using P2P will more likely buy free music 
than proprietary music once free music will become the majority...

Actualy microsoft is involved here, because they want to sell Windows 
Vista to people, witch can control what application you run, but french 
administration is migrating quite masively to linux-based computers.

Free software was developped because proprietary softwar was too bad 
(and still is),  i think that free music will develop when proprietary 
music will become too bad. You haven't seen yet star academy, a tv show 
creating stars.. and they are best sellers...  They are the new 
Microsoft, realy..  The new stars of music industry are created on mass 
braodband..  And most artists do not sell, they just loose their freedom 
of copyright.  When most artist will realise this, they will not sign 
contracts where they loose the copyright for 20
years.. First they have to finish the contract they have, and then you 
may see them join the free music...
