"French law-makers have just decreed that any eBook sold in France must cost the same as its paper versions in a unanimous ruling in the French Senate."

I am truly sorry that I don't have French ebooks to give away to any citisan of France. You guys really have to give a second thought to your politicians. Perhaps a tea party of your own? How about a 100.000 people each droping a few books into the Seine? Of course if it's illeagal, I resend my suggestion.
The one big problem with this is that not all paper versions of the same book are identically priced.

How do they plan to deal with that?
