Hoi,
When I read: "Wikisource content in the
French language targets the
French
public, and therefore, under French conflict of
laws principles, the
copyright law of France applies to this content." I do read the French
public. Wikisource does not target the French public per se.
I agree with you about this. Unfortunately, that turns out to be an
inadequate argument when it comes to justifying noncompliance with a
takedown notice.
We consulted with French counsel on the question of compliance, and neither
they nor we believed there was a strong probability that French court would
invalidate the takedown notice on the grounds that Wikisource does not
target the French public in particular.
