Henri: I am simply curious and don't want to cause any argument or additional arguments about the matter, and I support everyone's rights to privacy. I just looked at http://www.cnil.fr/fileadmin/documents/en/Act78-17VA.pdf - See chapter II, article 6, paragraph 3 That reads as follows: 3° they shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which they are obtained and their further processing; I don't understand how that applies. The other question I would ask you: when you register any original written work for a copyright in France, don't you have to put in some kind of identifying information?
