Hadopi 2 â The Relapse
,----[ Quote ]
| But notwithstanding the continuing climate of unreason,
| history obstinately refuses to be repealed: users
| continue to share massive amounts of files and
| introduce new material into the networks.
|
| Joseph Steglitz put it well in an op-ed in Liberation
| on September 16th, questioning the logic behind
| reliance on intellectual property perspectives and
| remarked:
|
| âThose producers whose business consists in
| delivering music from artists to consumers have no
| reason to exist today. Itâs like trying to save the
| coach and horse industry in the age of the
| automobile.â (3)

Pirate Party Books Moderate Success In German Elections
,----[ Quote ]
| The German Federal elections took place this Sunday and
| the Pirate Party, hoping to gain a seat or two, ramped
| up the pressure. Despite strong showings in the local
| council elections a week or two earlier, they failed to
| win a seat in the Parliament, getting only 2% of the
| vote, falling short of the required 5% minimum.

,----[ Quote ]
| A UK music industry group claims that it has given an
| ISP evidence that thousands of its customers are
| pirating music but it has done nothing to stop them.

UK Anti-Piracy Plans Cost More Than Music Industry âLossesâ
,----[ Quote ]
| As the UK file-sharing debate reaches fever pitch, with
| opinionated artists being shipped in by the bus load to
| condemn it, inevitably attention is turning to the costs
| associated with trying to end it. According to a boss at
| ISP BT, not only are the governmentâs plans doomed to fail,
| but could end up costing ISPs a staggering Â1m a day.
