Article L335-7-2 of the French Intellectual Property Code

To impose the suspension provided for in articles L. 335-7 and L. 335-7-1 and determine the length of the sentence, the court shall take into account the circumstances and seriousness of the offence, as well as the personality of the offender, and in particular the offender’s professional or social activity and socio-economic situation. The length of the sentence must reconcile the protection of intellectual property rights with respect for the right to express oneself and communicate freely, particularly from one’s home.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L335-7-2
Pour prononcer la peine de suspension prévue aux articles L. 335-7 et L. 335-7-1 et en déterminer la durée, la juridiction prend en compte les circonstances et la gravité de l’infraction ainsi que la personnalité de son auteur, et notamment l’activité professionnelle ou sociale de celui-ci, ainsi que sa situation socio-économique. La durée de la peine prononcée doit concilier la protection des droits de la propriété intellectuelle et le respect du droit de s’exprimer et de communiquer librement, notamment depuis son domicile.
