The law may be strictly interpreted
"DADVSI copyright law, which includes an amendment barring making available software that's intended to distribute unauthorized protected works."
And this is were the SPPF may get hurt. In french the law states "manifestement destiné", which may be interpreted by judges as "the sole purpose of the software". This will be, I think, the main line of defence of the four companies.
I have, however, a rather bad feeling, as french justice may be sometimes really computer illiterate and totally miss the point.
