As the original poster has still neglected to provide any links to information regarding his outlandish claim I have myself gone in search of information.
The most I can come up with is as Cew27 says.ie that it is becoming illegal in France.
Here is the relevant info taken from <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>.
What is DADVSI ?

The DADVSI (roughly "Author Rights and other Rights in the Information Society") is the French transcription of the European EUCD (European Union Copyright Directive) text, which itself is very similar to the American DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act).
The main goal of this law is to restrict the rights of digital content purchasers. It most notably forbids them to work around technical content protection measures (oh, by the way, it does not precisely describe was a technical content protection measure is, neither what is considered as working around).
Doing so, writing or publishing software allowing to do so, or even merely talking about ways to do so is illegal with this law.
On March 14th and 15th, this law was passed at the French "Assemblée Nationale" (House of Representatives).
Despite the promises made by the French Ministry of Culture, this law does not protect Free Software, nor working around DRM for "legal" purposes.
Moreover, an amendment was adopted that punishes with 3 years in jail any person that would write, distribute or promote a software that is "obviously" aimed at illegal file sharing (except if it is "only" aimed at legal sharing). This amendment is nicknamed the Vivendi-Universal Amendment. Guess why...
VideoLAN is directly impacted, most notably for its DVD reading capability
This means that VLC will be considered as illegal in France as soon as this law is officially promulgated. The penalty for distributing or promoting software that works around DRM is 6 months in jail and a 30 000 euros fine.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of free software that are impacted:
  • VLC (reads DVD, works around iTunes DRM)
  • Mplayer (reads DVD)
  • Totem (reads DVD)
  • More generally, any free software DVD player
  • Bittorent (P2P, could be used for illegal sharing)
  • eMule and all its variants (P2P, could be used for illegal sharing)
  • Sharpmusique (works around iTunes DRM)
  • FairTunes (works around iTunes DRM)
  • Any software that works around any DRM, either on music files or others
  • ...
The French website <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!> collects a large number of related articles and documentation, and has a dedicated English-speaking section.
We would like to thank all the people who are working on spreading information about DADVSI, most notably EUCD.info.
We also thank the MPs who have tried to raise attention on the dangers of this text and who have tried (but failed) to limit its nefarious effects.
I would like to point out that this law in no way affects anyone not living in France.

Krlll: You're better than that fella. 'Noob' is a term I do not like hearing or reading as it's inflammatory (this thread is a case in point). It has no place on CJ.

CL: He tried to help you in his initial post. This is what you asked for. Your reply set the tone for the rest of the thread.

Both: Post's with this content have no place on this site. Keep it clean or leave.
