Possibly both.Why France anyway?
-Probably the only country with the balls to stand up to the music industry.
-Or they are all mental for even trying .
As the French think about the possibility of making P2P legal by merely charging internet users a flat monthly fee, the court looks to be suggesting that current usage is already legal.
Yes, I AM LOVING THIS !!a young man ("Antoine G") charged with uploading and downloading over 1,200 audio files whose copyrights were represented by a French recording industry organization...The ruling from the district court is clear: the defendant was making use of these files for private, personal use, and thus his use was legal.

As if that would ever happen.What are their better known labels?Tom2681 wrote:It's easier for them to fight the Music/Film industries because most of it belongs to just one group (Vivendi Universal) in France.
They aren't the only labels. What about the other big ones?Tom2681 wrote:Also, Disney/Miramax/Dimension don't have a lot of influence over here. That helps a lot.
Canal +, Universal, Studio Canal, Polydor, Mercury records, Philips...What are their better known labels?
This is gonna be good.French MPs vote on digital piracy
French MPs who have already voted once to legalise the online sharing of music and films are to consider the matter again next week.
It was an embarrassing defeat for the government, which had planned to introduce large fines and possible jail terms of up to three years for internet pirates.
The final draft still includes the passage that makes bypassing DRM for interoperability legal and allows private copying (in a yet to be determined number), but also includes a "Universal Vivendi" clause which introduces high fines for knowingly distribute software whose primary purpose it is to allow unauthorized access to protected works.
Bah, fair enough.An earlier amendment, which would have legalized the use of peer-to-peer networks to download songs and films for a flat monthly fee of several euros, was killed by fierce opposition from artists, film production houses and record companies.
