Europes war on tech, French edition

Liam Boogar at The Rude Baguette:

“This week, France’s cultural minister and former digital minister Fleur Pellerin announced that Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited service, which provides a Spotify-like model for reading books, would be declared illegal, as it is seen as abusing the rights of authors. Inadvertently, of course, the model also puts a noose around the neck of local French startup Youboox, which raised €1.1 Million back in 2013 to push their ‘Spotify for Books’ model.”
