Myboynoah, are you involved in business affairs in France? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I was wondering how much the US government works with the French in regards to the current iTunes issues? Do we work at all with the Frenchies to discourage such things as the lawsuit to open the iTunes code? Is that in your office at all or a completely different agency?

Is it just political posturing from them to act like a big player in this issue or do they really want to "serve the greater good of the world"? Also, if this goes through, I imagine Apple would just drop itunes.co.fr or whatever, but could people in France merely go to any other itunes site after that point to access the store?
