Interesting package deal, as the French also have a pretty stringent anti piracy law.

Other side effect, assuming that the VPN is fully encrypted and the server is in a, shall we say more liberal country, is that it will become more easy to pirate things for the average user.

There anti-piracy is more bark than anything. They basically wrote a law with little understanding of its implementation and are trying to push the cost of doing it onto the ISPs who scoffed at the idea (well Free, AFAIK).

Basically they want you to download and install some software on your PC to monitor you for piracy, to prove you're innocent. If you don't install it? You have to prove your innocent without the big brother software. Also, its Windows only. Mac, Unix, Linux are on their own.
