Before using information found on the web, you need to apply a reasonable
amount of sound scepticism. Even government sites are not always complete or up
to date. On the expat scene, some 'smart' people have found out that they can
make a quick buck by copying articles from other sites, splash Google ads all
over the place, and then self-promote these articles on social networking sites
such as Twitter and Facebook. Sometimes, the copying is legal, if it is from
shared sites, sometimes it is straightforward copyright infringement, when one
or more pages from copyright protected websites are copied without permission.
Sometimes, articles on shared sites are themselves infringing copyright, since
the person who claims to be author and who put the article on the shared site
simply copied a copyright protected page and edited it a bit. In any case, junk
sites that mainly thrive on promoting copied articles, legally or not, are not
knowingly mentioned here. If you come across any, you are welcome to tell
me.
These sites either concern France as a whole or at least 2 different regions.
