Government certified security software: the French government's Hadopi wants to spy on everything on your computer, every time you log on, otherwise you cannot defend yourself against breach of copyright allegations.

The measures appear to be 'belt-and-braces' in that the software will be required to monitor all traffic through the Internet access as well as all files on the user's computer and the router configuration.

Most likely it will only run on Windows. So users of other operating systems will be guily by default or have to switch to Windows because everything else will be outlawed unless wiretapping, sniffing and censorship solutions are build in. Not much freedom and equality is left from the old "liberté, égalité, fraternité" slogan it seems.
