Enjoy. I'm sure I'm not alone in completely ignoring the opinion of French judges and the European Court of Justice.

Just for context, the author of the article you're commenting on is Julia Reda, a EU copyright activist and a former member of the EU parliament. While I likewise don't have too much use for the legal opinion of French courts, I think we can afford to cut her some slack for focusing on legal interpretations in her native jurisdiction.

Fair enough. She is correct about licenses in her jurisdiction.

If you don't care about what the courts say, I am not sure why you are making legal claims here.

When it comes to legal matters, the only thing that matters is the opinion of the court system.
