France Proposes Severe Anti-Piracy Legislation

...and you all thought the USA was bad.

quote:
PARIS -- France may be about to introduce the most draconian anti-piracy laws yet.

Internet downloaders could face jail sentences and software makers may be required to add anti-copying technology to products distributed in France under draft legislation that's expected to go to a vote this week.

The so-called emergency legislation would require software makers to include digital-rights management, or DRM, software in their products, according to a draft (.pdf) of the proposed legislation seen by Wired News. Software makers could be liable if their software is used for illicit purposes -- whether the software was designed for peer-to-peer networks or office intranets.

French legislators are also calling for three-year jail sentences and fines of 300,000 euros for illegally copying music, video or any other copyright-protected files.

Laws could also be set in place mandating that ISPs shut down accounts of suspected pirates.

Hmmm... This journalist can fuck off in Alaska! Our deputies have just voted a bill legalizing the exchange of files in "peer to peer" for a not-commercial use.

France to Legalize File Sharing

quote:
Originally written on Slashdot
quenting writes "In the debate around the anti-piracy bill, the French Parliament voted yesterday into law an amendment to the DADVSI bill that allows free sharing of music and movies over the internet, considering the downloaded files as a private copy. This decision goes against the French government and the music industry's recommendations, who argue the deputies only wanted to show their independence from the government. The initial bill's detractors who pushed for this amendment want a tax for author rights to be paid by everyone on the ISP fees." The French government has vowed to fight this decision (babelfish link).

I trust Slashdot.

France no appreciation to yourself, because you have done nothing for France. I assume that you are referring to the Second World War when you say they owe your country something - but seriously, that was a long time ago, and anyway, you should act to do what is right, rather than to recieve gratitude from others and feel smug.

So for fucks sake guys, stop fighting!

I'm standing up against ignorance, rather than for anyone in particular.
