[QUOTE=kladner;399227].....and more than a little scary. :shock:[/QUOTE]
The song's message or the video itself? I agree with the message, kind of.

I'm half-french(I'm guessing it's French, or something very similar to a non-speaker's ear) and some of the political stories I've heard have made me a bit nervous. French people seem to have a notion of civil rights that goes too far in favor of the consumer, to the point where I think the freemium model wouldn't exist if everyone felt the same way. Admittedly the US and Britain seem to be headed to the other extreme, but I think both models appear lousy to my untrained eye.

What country was it that put forth the right-to-be-forgotten law?

(Googled it, apparently, it's the law of the entire European union. Makes me wonder what it would look like if there were popular European-owned search engines)

I though that law was just another mechanism put in place by the EU for extracting vast sums of cash from gullible American software companies.

The video and the message are relatively congruent for me.

It is. The translation in the subtitles is a little off, but it's basically an anti-social media commentary, complaining about people who live in twitter instead of the real world.

Hmm ... Looks more like "the 5th Marx Brother" - Karl - to me, but then again I always did have heretical tendencies.

The 'Free Shipping!' does seem a rather underwhelming carrot, but look at the number of reviews!

Now 'Bonus: free DVR!' (Or 6 free months of Netflix) -- that bundle I could go for.
