The French court ruled Sony mislead the public by not spelling out (in what must be assumed to be in the EULA) downloads would be restricted and proprietary only.  Hooray for the French consumer union, whose case now establishes precedent for a future ruling in the pending Scandinavian case against Apple (in which the Scandinavians were negotiating with Apple, but this article indicates the negotiations must have failed, since now that case is going forward).  So, this is a victory against DRM (albeit not a decisive one) and a clear win for the consumer. 

Unfortunately, since the ruling did not forbid DRM, the only other requirement is that the terms be specific, so consumers know exactly what they can play their legally-purchased songs on.  Why stop short of dealing a crippling blow against DRM?  The only thing to be pointed to is that when the French parliament had the chance to do so in legislation, it buckled and failed to do so also.  It is therefore quite likely that such a small amount of damages will essentially be shrugged off as some kind of ‘aberration,’ with no reason to quash DRM—unless the pending Scandinavian case vs. Apple addresses this.
