What action can be taken by French citizens? By other people? How soon
must action be taken?
I'm afraid that only French citizens can do something. The EUCD.INFO initiative proposes some actions : http://www.eucd.info/agir
The EUCD.INFO initiative was launched by FSF France.
It seems that we are the guinea pigs of the new european laws. In this
case, DADVSI is quite like IPRED2: Mme Fourtou, rapporteur of the
Framework Decision to the JURI meeting, is the wife of Vivendi
Universal's CEO (author of the amendement Vivendi Universal/SACEM/BSA in
the french Parliament). Everybody's concerned.
Since her Framework Decision was rejected by JURI "on the basis of the
Court's judgment of 13 September 2005 (Case C‑176/03 Commission v
Council) where the Court clarifies the distribution of powers between
the first and third pillars as regards provisions of criminal law",
IPRED2 could be voted in a "trilogs" procedure with only one reading by
the EU Parliament (otherwise, we have 2 two chances instead of 3 in the
co-decision process).
The Commission will present another proposal for a Directive by end of
January 2006. We have just a little more time to act.
