It seemed impossible but it happened today. After an easy vote in the senate followed by a much more complex review in the parliament which actually saw the main part of the law being voted by only 16 people, the law has been rejected after review by a committee composed of senators and representatives. One can explain this situation by the fact that the text was purged of every addendum that would make the law less hard on internet users.
Of course the government won't be defeated and is already planning to represent the text of the law unmodified by the committee (in 2 or 3 weeks). If you feel at all concerned by this issue, you should contact your representative (you will find him here) to explain that you are for an internet that is not at the mercy of the music and movie industry.
