It is not uncommon in France that a court order forces a newspaper or
a magazine to publish a related judgement. In this specific case, the
judges have ordered the 'numerama' anti-HADOPI webzine to publish
several conviction statements in 'piracy'-related cases.

All things considered, I am not shocked; if anything, that merely
gives this webzine some kind of a legitimacy which it didn't have
before, so we'd certainly be happy to be picked next time -- not to
mention the financial advantages :-)

Regards,
Valentin
