Sarkozy's Party Found Violating Copyright Yet Again With Awful Lipdub
,----[ Quote ]
| French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been
| pushing himself as a defender of
| copyrights, and even helped create the
| original three strikes plan in France. And
| yet, he and his political party keep
| getting caught infringing on copyrights.
| First there was the use of a song in some
| online videos without proper licensing.
| Then there was the issue with mass
| pirating DVDs. So you would think that his
| party would be extra careful when putting
| together yet another online video
| involving music. Apparently not.

Daddy Sarkozy defends rise of his âPrince Jeanâ
,----[ Quote ]
| WHEN Steve Ballmer, the head of Microsoft,
| visited Paris earlier this month to open a new
| French headquarters, he agreed to hold only three
| private meetings.
|
| Two of them were with cabinet ministers. The
| third, to the dismay of distinguished politicians
| and businessmen who had put in bids for a word
| with the executive titan, was with a 23-year-old
| undergraduate known in the French press as
| âPrince Jeanâ.
|
| The meteoric rise of Nicolas Sarkozyâs son Jean â
| about to take charge of one of the biggest
| business districts in Europe â has prompted
| comparisons to a banana republic, fuelling
| outrage at the French presidentâs increasingly
| high-handed ways.

| The French satirical investigative journalism
| weekly âLe Canard EnchaÃnÃâ reveals that our
| holier-than-thou presidency is in fact a pirateâs

| unauthorized copies of the 52 minutes documentary
| âA visage dÃcouvert : Nicolas Sarkozyâ.

As Sarkozy Pushes Three Strikes, He Pays Up For His Own Copyright Violations
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, you might hope that this would cause Sarkozy to rethink his stance on
| copyright infringement. Instead, it looks like his political party has simply
| agreed to pay up and make the issue go away, while still pushing for the
| three strikes law. It sounds like they paid about 30,000 euros, which is a
| lot more than the single euro that Sarkozy's party initially offered (yes,
| seriously). No word on whether or not this counts towards the number of
| strikes on Sarkozy's internet connection.
