[ga] French President Busted For Copyright Violation

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

JFC and all,


  What's up with this JFC?  See:
http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=09/02/28/2237212
ZeroPaid has an interesting take on the story
of
http://www.zeropaid.com/news/10034/Political+Hypocrisy%3A+French+President+Sued+for+Copyright+Infringement
Nicolas Sarkozy being accused of copyright infringement. The irony,
of course, is Sarkozy's pushing of a 3-strikes law ? disconnecting from
the Internet those accused of file sharing ?
http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/02/0026243&tid=95 in
France and 
http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/03/2156204&tid=95
across the EU. The French president had apparently offered to settle the
copyright infringement accusation for one Euro, but the band rejected
the offer, calling it an insult. The article notes that each year since
2006, a high-profile anti-piracy entity has been on the wrong end of a
copyright infringement notice. In 2008,
http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9362/Sony%20BMG%20Sued%20for%20Software%20Piracy%20-%20Assets%20Seized
Sony BMG was sued for software piracy. In 2007, anti-piracy outfit
BASCAP  http://ag-ip-news.com/GetArticle.asp?Art_ID=4357&lang=en
received a cease and desist order related to pirated software. And in
2006,
the MPAA was  http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/collective/A14034313 accused
of pirating 'This Film is Not Yet Rated'.
