It's pretty refreshing to see cases where a government doesn't stay the course when the facts contradict it. I wonder if it is in less of a thrall of France's IP lobby?

The left wing has always been against the repressive/agressive methods of hadopi, and were instead always favorable to better legal options.

What is refreshing is a government keeping its promises after the elections, especially on matters like this which the general public doesn't really care about while some huge corp are fighting for it (remember that vivendi/universal is french, for example, and our "culture producing" industry is quite huge).

It should be noted that the government changed recently. So it is less of a correction than a change of direction.
