RMS> Richard 

The law does not distinguish between French nationals and
non-nationals.

It could be argued that it would only be applied if the material was
put available in France -- which, with the Internet, is almost
certain.

Now, if this will indeed be the case, or not... we will have to wait
for it's use.

I would worry.
