Hopefully one outcome of this undertaking will be some clarity - does Google sufficiently use legal methods? If so, this raid might be more show and a "fishing expedition" than genuinely deployed based on cause. However, if there was sufficient evidence to justify such a raid, then I will be interested to read the findings by the French authorities. Discussing tax reform is about as contentious as discussing IP/copyright reform, in that unless major global players get consistent, then it's just too entrenched to disrupt I think.
Personally I'd like to see both avenues get shaken up but it's sort of questionable in the long-term, as I see both the "big authorities" and "big players" as having a lot of political overlap and influence. Basically minimize until it goes away (or causes such rot the host dies).
