The APRIL, a French association promoting open source software, has requested the annulment of a decree which specifies that possessing or using technologies that circumvent technological protection measures for copyrighted works (thereafter TPMs or DRMs for Digital Rights Management) should be punished by a €750 fine. According to the association, this provision which indiscriminately punishes all uses of DRM circumvention technology, threatens the existence, use and development of open source software which entails, in many instances, such circumvention.
