   @endrift @arborelia @antlers @swheritage I sent them a takedown notice.

   French law doesn't have anything like fair use, so...

     @arborelia @endrift @antlers @swheritage I'm a UK resident and should have EU and UK passports soon, so... maybe?

     If they ask for a scan of my ID, I'll contact Gandi's legal department, then get a French lawyer, screw that.

     @ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage good luck! They have never replied to my takedown notice but I bet if you’re in the EU you’ll have a better shot

     @arborelia @endrift @antlers @swheritage I the right to rectification for gender purposes regularly. I also have a California address so I can use California Consumer Privacy Act on American companies.

     @ryanc I don't like this dystopian cyberpunk take on being a citizen of the world...

     @womble I'll probably end up with a different gender listed on each of my passports too. 😡

     @womble Also, I do strategic work at an AAA megacorp, so my position in the cyberpunk dystopia is a little odd.

     From what I can tell, the way French copyright law is written seems as though it would constitute infringement of the author's moral rights to refuse to honor a request to change how they're identified.

     It additionally seems to grant authors a right to withdraw their work that cannot be contracted away, though paying compensation to the publisher may be required.

     Again, as far as I can tell, an open source license does not remove the author's moral rights.

     These people seem to be doing a serious fuck around and find out with French copyright law...
