From the article-linked ruling press release - what it means in practice, what this was about:
I find the ruling press release is much more understandable (and much more informative) than the OP-linked article.
Which just opens more questions: How long are ISPs allowed/required to store customer IPs, and then what happens if I have an open wifi: Can they just assume that I did it or declare me responsible anyway, that is, is it possible for a private individual to enjoy ISP privileges?
Yes if I remember the Hadopi correctly, your are responsible for securing your access point and liable for any use made out of it.
