ndogg writes "EFF co-founder John Perry Barlow faced down copyright heavyweights ... on a panel he described as 'the Lions Den' discussing issues of intellectual property. He was the lone dissenting voice ... Mitterand had commented that copyright debates had grown so calm now that everyone agreed upon the ground rules."

It doesn't matter what Mitterrand thinks of Polanski's case, Polanski is a French citizen and thus is protected from extradition from his country - Mitterrand couldn't do anything short of changing the law...

And we all know the shit storm that changing laws to suit the US causes here on Slashdot...

Re:Conroy vs. Sarkozy

I am a french voter. There was almost no alternative to Sarkozy and it was not so predictable that Sarkozy would be so terrible.
By putting DSK in jail, you have removed the most promising candidate for next election.
I promise I will not vote for Sarkozy even if that means voting for the worst asshole.
