This stems from years ago and in Paris - way before Iraq Part I and II. Parisians and I don't get along. We just don't. The city is beautiful, the art magnificient, the food and wine, amazing, but the city residents and I cannnot get along. Outside of Paris - no problem. That is for another discussion sometime.

However, and this issue could be argued many ways, I am actually in partial agreement with France's government on this:

Again, Free Market and Enterprise could be argued against the economic reprucussions of doing something like this, I just want my music to be transparent to the media I decide to employ my music upon... without jumping through hoops in order to get it to work. Right or wrong - it's just want I want, you know, the customer.

However, I'm sure I am missing something, but it's Friday and Chipotle is calling me.

Thoughts?
