Actually, waffles is not an accurate headline. More accurate would be a headline describing a split in the EU between the friendly decisions for rights holders (France) and for online marketplaces (Belgium). The judicial split is reminiscent of how different state and district courts in the United States can disagree, which promotes a de facto experimentation between regions but is also messier (and more profitable) for the lawyers. Seems like an issue big enough for the EU to grapple with legislatively.
Perhaps instead of waffles, the European decisions are more like a double-layered cake.
Summaries of the decision can be found here, here, here, and here.
