As expected, the French HADOPI law was voted earlier today by the Assemblée Nationale.

As expected, my local representative voted in favour of this law.

I had however kept a secret hope that he would abstain for this vote, following to the email I have received from his assistant following to our meeting. Mr Vannson planned to take the floor during the finale discussions. He had sent me for review the text they wrote, which perfectly matched my arguments, and even referred to the law as a “Rube Goldberg machine” (“Ma conviction est que nous avons monté une usine à gaz” in the original version). This text also stated that he was netiher convinced nor satisfied by the law.
