To resume :
- the projet of a global licence for download platform (voted in december) is revoked,
- each peer to peer platform is now prohibited !!,
- each private copy of a cd/dvd is now prohibited !!,
- each commercial work (music, film...) have a protection called DRM and can be read only by soft capable of decoding it !!
People who don't respect it risk jail (for p2p developper) and money (for illegal downloader).
That's to me the principal points of this law (in the music aspect). The consequence for free soft is also awful. You can find more objective analysis here : eucd.info (with direct english links in the end of the article).
About netlabel and free music, the situation is not totaly clear, will see in practise what will happen but it seems it stills legal to share free works (it depends how it's made and how the law is adapted -the law is very unclear).
Anyway, big thanks to the french governement to follow the major's will and to vote ancestral law against technological projection and free culture (even America hadn't vote law so repressive).

Be careful, it could soon happen in your country... Perhaps you can spread these news.
