I’m glad that someone had the guts to stand up to millions of internet thieves who think they deserve everything for free. The outrage on this very website confirms that as technology gets better, people’s brains cease functioning properly.

Let me ask: how would you feel if you spent hundreds of hours working on a PC game / programme and then earn SHIT for your efforts, because some morons think they deserve it for free and upload it on various torent sites? Knowing that all your hard work and dedication was in vain? Of course, you would curse all those torrents and stuff, but when you are the ones stealing, everything’s cool and dandy. Right.

I dearly hope other governments will follow in the French footsteps.
You mumble something about democracy and your rights. What about the authors’ rights? They work, they expect to make money. Inconceivable, I know…

And those of you babbling about buying guns / protesting should really grow up. Then I suggest all burglars to take to the streets as well, as the increased numbers of police patrols impede them in doing their jobs and violates their freedom.

I’m getting bored with giving the media mogles a good living and just as soon develop other hobbies long ignored. In my family we used to make our own music and forms of entertainment but still, I will miss other forms of information sharing with my friends in Sweden, Russia, The Phils and other places around the world that I’ve been communicating with. It will be a shame if the corporations win and we all lose that.
Unless we find another way fast…

A couple of things to remember. If the violation is such that it must go to criminal court then juries can strike back by refusing to enforce the law. Juries have always had this right but judges and those in power don’t let the fact escape. Break the law; refuse to pay if service is cut off; give false information to get service or get service based on cards that will not ask for any identification other than a login which gathers no personal information. These exist already where I live. Forcing a company to go to court to collect will force them to pay attorney fees which will far exceed the cost of the debt involved. If they get a judgement refuse to pay it as well and force them to go to court again. Also create havok by using public computers in as many places as possible to download copyrighted materials. Most networks are run by people with extremely poor knowledge of computer security.
Make the law expensive to even attempt to enforce and get as many others as possible to violate the law. There is not enough room in prison for all those breaking the law and a country can not function without workers. If you are in computers and work for a company make the network vulnerable to P2P traffic. Obviously the movie industry and music industries are behind this law so regardless of what happens do not buy any of their products and do not attend any concerts or movies produced by large media conglomerates.
Also create large user groups that share via large hard drives. Terabytes of material can be shared in this fashion.
Fight back and resist in every way possible.
