It seems that the vote in the French parliament to legalise the private copying of music via P2P file sharing networks happened close to midnight when there were not many members of the House in attendance.
"The French vote needs to go through more steps to become law. It can be overturned if it is debated again and voted down in the lower house. It also needs a vote from the upper house, or the Senate.
The amendment, which is attached to a bill on intellectual property rights, states that ``authors cannot forbid the reproduction of works that are made on any format from an online communications service when they are intended to be used privately'' and not for commercial use."
So it's unlikely to become law.
