Music

[andrewducker]

The first question is referring solely to music that belongs, in some way, to you. Something where you get a file out of it. Things like iTunes, Amazon MP3, eMusic, etc.

No, they definitely *do* license it properly in France, but *don't* license it for the US. They've got licensing agreements in Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and the UK.
I've tried googling and found no evidence at all that Spotify is illegal in France, and plenty of sites talking about them operating there perfectly legally...

Then the Montpellier ISPs are fucked up.

I wonder if some asshat in the Langedoc prefecture for some reason doesn't understand them and just told them to block it down here.

Entirely possible. And absolutely disgusting... Maybe you should complain to your ISP? I certainly would, if mine were blocking legit sites (or indeed non-legit ones for that matter...)

There is no point in complaining to any company in France ever.
