Is France ruled by a bunch of idealists?

France adopts toned down version of download law

"In its earlier form, the bill would have forced online stores ... to share DRM code". The revised law still grants consumers "the right ... to make private copies". Federal Consumers' Union said the amendments is "a surrender to big corporations and a defeat for consumer rights", but Jim Prendergast of Americans for Technology Leadership still thinks it is a "complete disregard for intellectual property".

It is nice to know that a first world Government is still fighting for consumer freedom, but can the French win?
