It's always uploading. I'd be curious what the law really said, versus what some news/blog story claimed it said.
By the way, last I saw the law was ruled as unconstitutional in France about a month ago and overturned. Has it been passed again?

What I read was that it was indeed downloads. Failed to pass it on the first try because only one third of legislators were present and the remaining ones voted it down. Then a few weeks later it was passed. Haven't heard any new development since.
