The new french mandates that it make known its song file formats to its rival firms in the business thus giving no one the upper hand as enjoyed by Apple Inc. The rule will also curb the Sony the advantage that it holds in the market by virtue of its Walkman file format, ATRAC3. A breach of this law will induce a court order and a fine.
