April Showers (hopefully) Bring Annulment

"This week, APRIL (l'Association pour la Promotion et la Recherche en Informatique Libre) has brought a case before the French Supreme court requesting an annulment of a decree that 'introduces a maximum €750 fine for possession and use of DRM circumvention technologies'."

I wouldn't be surprised if the decree is annulled, especially considering it's France, who, as a European country, isn't as hardheaded about the DRM subject. I'm torn, though. You know me well by now, and you can predict that I'm not supportive of laws like this one, but should I expect them to get repealed when copyright laws are still intact. It's like legalizing security decoders while home theft is still outlawed. Granted, home theft should be outlawed, but you get my point. Most things having to do with pro-DRM, I'm not exactly down with, so it's all the same to me. I guess it's a good stepping stone to getting DRM off the market.

This particular law, though, is an example of attacking an accidental victim.
"APRIL's argument is that being fined for merely possessing an anti-DRM device/program 'imposes an unfair and disproportionate threat on users of open source software and the whole movement of open source software.'"
