I don't agree here Denis. If the law was removed, do you really think that we would hear no more Isabelle Boulay, Kevin Parent, les Colocs, Beau Dommage, Jean Leloup, etc. on the radio on the next day? I don't think so. Radio stations play what the listeners want to hear. French artists have taken their spot in our culture. Sure, there will be less french artists on the radio, but the one that won't play won't be missed all that much by many of us (will you really miss Kathleen?). The one's that survive only because of that law don't deserve to be musicians in the first place, IMHO.

>If there are no rules forcing radio stations to play french music what will be the language of choice heard in radio stations? Why would any radio station bother to play french songs because english music is more popular in the world than french music.

>So if there are no french songs played than the french artists don't get as much publicity so they won't sell as much CDs. If they don't sell enough CDs than maybe they won't be able to make other CDs or play live music because who wants to go see a show given by somebody or a band that almost nobody knows. So in the end no more french music only english music.

>The same principle can be applied to many other industries. Because english is so present around us french does'nt have a chance to survive without laws to protect it.
