Sulla lista discussion della FSFE si parla di una legge sul DRM nella
Francia. Visto che il tema DRM e' un tema scottante e visto che dopo la
tematica dei brevetti (che non e' ancora finita) adesso ci servono tutte
le nostre forze per affrontare il DRM, che e' un grande pericolo per le
liberta delle persone, visto che trasferisce il potere alle macchine di
limitare le liberta degli utenti.
Vi forwardo un messaggio della lista, in cui Rui spiega in modo semplice
e molto capibile il grande pericolo.

Imagine you use Firefox to download a DRM'ed Windows Media Video file.
Firefox would have to respect the copy prohibition embedded in that .WMV
file, if it doesn't, it would be illegal to use it.
Now imagine Firefox DOES respect the copy prohibition. Since Firefox is
Free Software, it can be modified so it WON'T respect the prohibition.
As such, it would be illegal to use it.
These two situations are an example of what that law would turn illegal.
If you dig to a lower level, maybe the network card driver should
analise the content, I think.
