Hello Allan.
This mail from tuxfamily was intended as an April fool's joke, I think ;-)
The joke was surely easier to tell by those of us in France who have
been following the discussions about this project: it is hard to
believe that any provider involved in FOSS would stand up in favour of
a regulation which intends to deprive citizens of their Internet
access, on the basis of extremely random evidence (IP adresses
collected by a private authority).

Not exactly: the EU has strongly stated that being able to access the
Internet should be a fundamental right; though, this does not create
any legal constraint which a governenment has to abide by. (This is my
understanding, anyway, and IANAL). The french rulers seem determined
to scorn the EU's views on the matter, and promote this law. Whether
it can then be sanely applied is a whole other story ...
Cheers.
