This topis has started being discussed on Thorn Tree but since many people concerned with Paris do not follow Thorn Tree threads, here is some basic information I have come across.
SPLM isw an association of various parties concerned with vacation rentals, particularly based in France and more so in Paris.
SPLN members pay the taxes that a hotel would collect and have a commitment to service to the customer, the industry and the neighborhood. I had rented a cottage from a member in 2004 or so and followed the owner who then became part of a larger company specializing in Montmartre rentals. When the subject of the Loi ALUR came up, I contacted her for more information. She provided me links to the SPLM website and other background information.
Statement (in French) from the head of SPLM to the mayors of Paris (who it seems may have control over the implementation of the law):

Their arguments again implementing the law against all temporary rentals (non-hotel) are valid and I'm sure this will become much discussed and debated.
While I may never visit Paris again, I would like to think that the convenience and pleasures of having one's own space while in Paris will be possible for all who can afford it. As an argument against the full applicaiton of the law, they point out that offshore companies could rent apartments and avoid the law if done discretely. Since I have read some horror stories on TT about people who booked online and ended up with a place that failed to provide what was offered and no refund given (more in other countries than in France).
Kerouac I know you posted on TT about this so hope you will add any news you get, thanks
