In the first two paragraphs PPR asks victims of police abuse to obey the
law; in the last they say "Oh, by the way it would be good to permit
non-commercials to use software freely."  If this is a proposal, then,
placed in the very end of article and without even stating the reasons
why the law should be changed, it is extremely weak proposal.

It might be attributed to the article being clumsy written; but numerous
discussions with PPR officials on their web-forum, when they many times
have expressed hostility to the very idea what law should be changed to
respect citizen's rights (not only to force publishers pay more to the
authors), makes such a possibility extremely small.
