Now people of the internet is questioning that the French legislation can be this dumb, but somehow the other crap went through. Member when the Brits protested against that shit above and noone in the govt cared?
Why French lawmakers want their citizens to be barred from all the services on the internet? Or they want their own citizens to pay more for services? Or perhaps they want to kill non-profit organizations and projects (such as GNU+Linux and other Free/Libre and Open Source), because they won't be able to pay their nonsense tax? They want to tax everyone who serves data to their users, which is everyone with a web service. How krautchan.org plans to pay this tax? What if other countries adopt this genius idea?
Here are two links I found where people discussing this. Not easy to find such places by searching "france law tax download" and even by searching the number of the amendment.
