Maurice warns Francoise .... don't be silly. France can only pass a law that Google is not available in France. Maybe that will help people in France, but most likely it will not: <France's Hollande Warns Google: Negotiate With Press or Face New Law
By Gabriele Parussini

PARIS--French President Francois Hollande asked the executive chairman of Google Inc. ( GOOG) to settle a long-running dispute with the French press over revenue sharing from content posted online before the end of the year, or face new legislation--an event that would force the Internet company to pay for the right to cite news articles online.

"The president has wished that negotiation can start quickly and wrap up before the end of the year between Google and the editors," the French presidency said in a press release published after Mr. Hollande's meeting with Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt at the Elysee. The president "noted that dialogue and negotiations between partners looked like the best option, but that if necessary a law could be passed on this matter, as it's happening in Germany."

France can't pass a law that forces Google to give money to newspapers or other specified people.
