Ever downloaded music officially and then realized what a pain it is when you cant transfer it to your iPod or any other media device thanks to protected digital content .Well now France is taking notice of this and there maybe a legislature passed soon where it would be legal too to transfer protected digital content from one digital rights management scheme to other formats. Christian Vanneste, sponsor of the legislation, said such format conversion would no longer be illegal under the law. "You have to be able to download content and play it on any device." This has already generated concern among players like Apple and Microsoft who are threatening to withdraw their services in France. Watch this space for more details.
