Report from France's DRM protest at Place de la Bastille

Jeremie Zimmermann writes in with a first-person account of the anti-DRM march in France yesterday, where citizens gathered to protest the hijacking of France's DRM law by Vivendi-Universal. He says that a few government deputies [Members of Parliament] turned out to march with the 800 protesters, and the march was led by "convicts" carrying signs that had slogans like "I played a DVD under Linux," "I loaned music to a friend," "I revealed a security flaw" — shackled with chains reading "Vivendi-Universal," "Microsoft" and "Apple."
