I agree with you about this. Unfortunately, that turns out to be an inadequate argument when it comes to justifying noncompliance with a takedown notice. We consulted with French counsel on the question of compliance, and neither they nor we believed there was a strong probability that French court would invalidate the takedown notice on the grounds that Wikisource does not target the French public in particular. --Mike _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
