I don’t think parliament are going to be passing many laws now that the extent of their corruption has been revealed.

With what’s been going on recently, it’d be very hypocritical for the government to pass this law because people are “stealing” copyright material when they’ve been stealing taxpayers money to buy moats, houses for ducks, extra houses, etc.

Which actually makes an interesting loophole for legal battles.

Hey guys I actually started to wonder if France/UK/Sweden and other European countries have Public Initiative/Ballot Initiative/Referendum initiated by petition/enough citizen signs?

In my country it is little bit hard to do as only president can postpone law ratification by parliament/senate for two months. Then if in those two months enough signs are collected on petition then referendum is initiated. So then if half of electorate goes to referendum and if out of those 50%+ majority votes “no” then law is not ratified no meter what parliament(and lobbies) want.

So I wonder how such laws are in other EU countries? Can France citizens some how initiate referendum to reject the law?

What do pirates do with the money they save from there illicit gains, bury it on a desert island?? I think not, they go out and spend it somewhere else, put in someone elses pocket. If all piracy suddenly ceases other business will suffer somewhere. The majority of people only have so much money to spend on passtimes.

Don’t worry, the French are much better at organising dissent than us lazy Brits. The law will not stand.

With all the shit that is happening in the UK at the moment i would hope that Gordan Brown and his mates would be spending their time a bit more productively then wasting it on this garbage.

It always makes me laugh when these dicks claim that they are losing millions of pounds every year from piracy. I don’t go to the flicks as most films these days suck huge balls, i no longer by CD’s or MP3 files for the same reasons. So how much more profit are they going to make if they disconnect me?

I’ll tell you how much FUCK ALL.

I’m sure there would be an outrage in the UK if we followed the French and went for a 3-strikes out rule, solely based on the fact most ISP’s here sell there product on the basis of it’s DOWNLOAD speed.

Most Virgin adverts actually boast about the fact you can download music, films, etc at faster speeds than there competitors.

What “piracy”, *cough*, “copyright infringement” problem? It’s only a problem to greedy corporations such as the MAFIAA. They effectively wrote these copycrap laws, and now they want us all to fall in line like good little sheep. Well fuck that and fuck their self-serving irrelevant laws.

@the.dwarfer

It’s not, it’s meant for streaming television to your eyeballs. People have turned away from old media sources and towards the Internet. This is to change. It’s imperitive that control of information is maintained.
