I'm French and I really don't think this law will ever pass. Not how it's currently written.<p>In France, we have something called the "conseil constitutionnel" which checks that every law voted by the parliament is in accordance with our constitution. This law violates a <i>lot</i> of basic rights. For example, the "presomption d'innoncence" guaranties that people can't be arrested without proofs, and that they don't have to prove that they're not guilty; the government has to prove that they are.

"It's a balanced bill for a legal and civilised Internet," said Culture Minister Christine Albanel.<p>That's another way of saying: kill the Internet.

The law will be reexaminated as soon as the government can afford it, and , given the domination they have amongst the parliament, the law will probably be voted this time.<p>This is still a nice thing. It's letting some time to the people who are against this law to organize themselves and inform people about the obvious constitutional violations of this law.
