I haven't done french since high school. So totally chatgpt and google translate reading this to me, but I really don't get what VideoLAN has to do with this.

The law is crazy with a €55/TB tax on ingress to France (including local cdns). But it's got nothing to do with your video player.

> A tax is established based on the flows of digital data emitted by content providers and paid by the latter

> When a data emitter uses a content delivery network to cache content near end users, the amount of data emitted is considered equal to the sum of the outgoing flows from the delivery network

Imagine paying €8 to download Balder's gate 3 lol.
