“key figures within TF1 are close friends to some of the most powerful politicians in France.”

What they mean is that Sarkosy is a great friend of Bouygue, the owner of TF1. They have had many deals together in the past, where national asset was sold by Sarkosy (then financial minister) at ridiculous price to Bouygue and bought back by Sarkosy at inflated price just 2 years later. A perfectly legal scam at the cost of the tax payer. These are the real crooks

“so bob what ya in for …..”
…
“ten years for a music video”
…
“ahh same as half the other peopel that can’t pay the fines”

15000 EURO = about 20000 CANUCK notice that that BILL c-51 was about same, and now you will see what happens when they can’t afford the fines.

like i said hollywood is now the terrorists, we have to fight them and eradicate them where ever found.

so what videos where they, and also what artists, as htey too are responsible here.

AND when the artists start pressuring them to stop we will stop calling you thieves of humanity and culture.

YOU ARE BAD all actors and musicians.
If your not with riaa/mpaa and dont sue people or get them fined then GOOD for you.

In France’s defence, their movie industry sucks.
“France installed an import quota of 1:7 – for every seven foreign films imported to France, one French film was to be produced and shown in French cinemas” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_France#Late_19th_century_to_early_20th_century

However, as usual it looks like figures and information got blown out of proportion.
For getting caught they got off pretty lightly – 2500 euro each

@8
Good movies from no matter where get around exceptionally well, regardless of mainstream advertisement or not.
It’s ok, though, I remember my first time on the intertoobs.

to #9 and #10. While traveling in France, I saw a campaign poster for Sarkozy. Someone defaced it by writing “Pro-Bush” on it. I thought if Sarkozy is pro-Bush he must be a great guy! Long live former U.S. President George W. Bush!

Why doesn’t France send the Foreign Legion after these awful pirates?

The irony is huge: How many people on the planet would know or care about some boring French movie? They’re getting the kind of publicity that they’d never dream of! Probably more people know about this now, worldwide, than any other French movie this century.

“France’s biggest box-office success in 2006″
“13 million euros in losses”

Something doesn’t quite add up I think…

It’s very rare for French films to be advertised or released in a mainstream setting (not counting piracy) – at least in AU for sure.

This is a pity IMO – some French movies are really great IMO. Along with Spanish films I try (only somewhat successfully it has to be said) to view as many as I can along with English language films.

I’m just finding it hard to believe they were caught – the DVD may have been marked in some fashion to ID the copy or perhaps they told people about it. Or perhaps the TV station was the only outlet to recieve a screener (hard to believe).

This is why scene groups are so damn cautious about everything they do I suppose.

@9: No, he’s too evil to be a Dubya clone. Dubya and clones are just unimaginably stupid, not evil.

You’ve got to respect those actors who only wanted 1 euro each. They didn’t like what these people did, but they didn’t try to further destroy the people financially.

Has anyone heard of this movie? Actors demanding 1 million dollars in damages when no one has even heard of them. 15000 euros and 1 month jail talk about BS.

As a result, people who share continue to be reduced to underlings at the hands of copyright owners.

Yet, why are we underlings? It is not fate: we are not fated to be underlings. Rather, it is the fault of ourselves that we are underlings. The world may be more or less cruel and unfair, but however bad it may be, we humans still have human potential.
