France and p2p
Here's what Sarkozy wants legal in France in order to control piracy over the internet:
-Same as in the USA, you receive a letter from your ISP for illegal downloading but after the complaint of a "entitled party".
-For a second offense, without having to ask any judge, the internet subscription can be interrupted and the user written on a "national black list".
-Any ISP which doesn't collaborate can be sanctioned.
-The ISPs must filtrate connections.
-Any "technical provider" like ISPs, but also platforms such as Youtube can be asked to take actions over the violation of copyright laws (removing content, banning access ...)
-Platforms used for sharing must control the content like DailyMotion and Youtube do.
-Movies offered by VOD must use a six months delay between the release of a movie in theater and the moment it can be used as Video On Demand, same as for DVDs now (for the French system).
-The DRMs mesures are legitimate until they can be read on any device (which isn't the case yet).
But yet, reading his speech, I think some points seem positive, he admits that the offers online aren't really worthing anything and must be changed, so as he says the financial system in the industry should be changed (are we going towards a "global license"?).
