RMS : [rhetorically] Well are you going to challenge them? It costs money, it takes trouble, and not only that, how would you do it? Well, you could either try to go to a court and say, &ldquo;They have no right to ask people to sign this contract because it is an invalid contract&rdquo; but that might be difficult if the distributor is in the US. French law about what is a valid contract couldn't be used to stop them in the US. On the other hand you could also say &ldquo;I signed this contract but it's not valid in France so I am publicly disobeying, and I challenge them to sue me.&rdquo; Now that you might consider doing, and if you're right and the laws are not valid in France then the case would get thrown out. I don't know. Maybe that is a good idea to do, I don't know whether, what its effects politically would be.
