Was this law passed or did they come to sense and say "fuck it".
[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;10484543]So, what you're saying is... "Piracy will always exist. So trying to stop it is pointless." This just proves you understand less about it than I do. Why wouldn't I take advantage of it? Because unlike you, I respect the law, and for good reason. Killing piracy won't save me money? I'm in the film industry. I'm a Gaffer. Pirates are the reason I only recieved half the money I was owed for 6 months of work. So yeah, all you're doing is proving my point. Try all you like, there is simply no way to justify e-piracy, and the only reason anyone would be against this new policy is if they're too fucking lazy to go out, get a job, and learn to PAY for games, music and movies.[/QUOTE] A bit late, but no one was going to see your shitty movie in the first place (if they downloaded it). You never lost anything.
Aww no more HD movie rips for the french :C
They'll be injecting viruses into warez that is in France. The spy keeps crabbin.
Pfft just move, or if it you get banned, attack. I mean, its not like they'll fight back you know.
You guys didn't really think the internet would remain unpoliced forever, did you? Governments and businesses know that a free exchange of ideas and information is a danger to their power base, I'm surprised it's taken this long for them to start cutting undesirables out and trying to control everything.
You can't change how information is used or added or removed to the internet, but you can be blocked from it.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;20756543]You can't change how information is used or added or removed to the internet, but you can be blocked from it.[/QUOTE] So they block the people that use, add, or remove information they don't agree with.
*sigh* I thought France was supposed to be a highly liberated country. I'm fucking a woman who isn't my wife right now. They won't complain about that, now will they.
Doesnt the UK have the same law. the 3 strikes thing? and are people more at risk of being found out? is it more dangerous of being caught than before?
i live in canada where nobody really cares about this crap
[QUOTE=evilking;10481085]I don't get all this crap with "But downloading illegal things is good since it doesn't hurt anybody!" Yes it does. It does hurt major record labels and film monopolies, who honestly steal most of the profit from the artists and actors! But still, hiding behind that "But it doesn't hurt anybody directly" argument is quite bad, that's why we got bad and virus-like copy protection schemes that hurt only the legal buyers, I've noticed that it's easier to install a warezed game than a legit game.[/QUOTE] People that warez things, arnt likely to buy the thing anyways, so there is no lost cash, as the product wasnt going to be sold to that person anyways.
[QUOTE=mobrockers;20759264]People that warez things, arnt likely to buy the thing anyways, so there is no lost cash, as the product wasnt going to be sold to that person anyways.[/QUOTE] Sometimes people buy the game they warez'd before. But sometimes warez is a way to say "Fuck you ubisoft and your shitty drm".
canada still is ignoreing this crap i only know about this because of facepunch
At least it isn't banning for trolling people online.
Internet Police, pff. Australia shall ban them.
[QUOTE=ksenior;10480335]Fuck the French.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Hanley;10480551]Nobody likes them anyway.[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXxFzLjlVf4[/media] Wine and cheese, surrender to the Nazis.
Obligatory "France surrenders" joke.
French canadian here, warez isnt something that people care about.
It's funny how politicans want to act as the internetpolice. It's our fucking right to do whatever we want there... FREELY! It's a good thing to prevent people from recieving Child pornography over the internet, but that's about it.
Don't worry mam! I'm from... THE INTERNET. POOOOLLLIIIICEEEE!!! *Handcuffs tron guy* Meh. Child porno was banned for what reason? Oh right. *Remembers Pedobear*
Point them to 4chan.org Watch as the gouge their eyeballs out, and if were lucky, admit to defeat and fallback. No seriously if this happens I see major trolls, trolling IRL because they lost their Girlfriends (I mean they lost their internet, if you don't understand sarcasm.)
As long as the US doesn't do that, i'm fine.

However, here's something to consider. If someone were to pirate something, that means that most of the time, they [b]wouldn't have bought it if they couldn't pirate it.[/b] Also, maybe your film just sucked. Do you KNOW that pirates somehow made less people buy the film? Maybe your film was just awful?
[QUOTE=xXDictatorXx;10532179]Here here :D I get along fairly well with the French from expericne despite the fact that I am English (and they're supposed to hate us right?). As for piracy, I know it's wrong and and there is no real excuse but most people will go for a free option of anything if it's available. That's just the way it is.[/QUOTE] I don't hate you! Or English people, well it depends on the person.. But you get it. [sp] And I know my english sucks [/sp]

Most of the Warezing people wouldn't buy the crap if they couldn't Warez. [editline]07:00AM[/editline] Those days right holders assume that if you downloaded their shitty movie/game, you would automatically buy it if you didn't warez it. They are forgetting that many people who Warez stuff simply don't have the money to buy all of it, or wouldn't buy it if they had to pay. [editline]07:01AM[/editline] Oh god this is a terrible bump. adlgdaghadlg
[QUOTE=CammyD;10484088]Why the fuck are they trying to stop piracy. There is a hell of a lot of worse shit on the net. Terroristcamp is one of them.[/QUOTE] Why the fuck are they trying to stop rape. There is a hell of a lot worse shit on the streets. Murder is one of them.
[QUOTE=Tetsmega;20759665]At least it isn't banning for trolling people online.[/QUOTE] Haha, yeah. There are a bunch of PSAs on TV here about Obama creating internet police to patrol the interwebs looking for "Girl X said shit about Girl Y behind her back so Girl Y called internet police to get Girl X fined/jailed/punished/etc." That old curse "to live in an interesting period in time" is starting to look like it doesn't only apply to war, but to idiotic politicians and retarded governments as well. OH MY GOD THERE'S A FLAME WAR ONLINE, WE MUST CREATE LEGISLATION AGAINST IT.
please france kill /b/ forever but leave /o/ they taught me all of my car knowledge
