download mp3 and divx is prohibited. Everyone knows, but who cares? Nicolas Sarkozy addressed the issue in late 2007, to further punish the evil pirates who illegally share their files on the P2P . This is an opportunity to review the risks faced by the Belgians from their downloads ; also an opportunity to see how the authorities are floundering in the field of anti-piracy. The new threat
The latest agreement sanctioning non-commercial downloading dated August 2006. The Chirac government had decided to condemn the pirates (or ten million French) to three years imprisonment and 300 000 € fine.
However, Nicolas Sarkozy has no plans to increase the number of prisons in his program and this law was deemed unenforceable (like that?). There is a little over a month, the French president has decided to solve the problem of the crisis caused by the disc what he called "the shoplifting . For that, he gathered some friends around the table, pay custodians of culture, the "crème de la crème: Didier Barbelivien, Christian Clavier, Patrick Bruel and so on.
Oliviennes Denis, CEO of FNAC was given a mission that was to create a law this time against the downloads. An agreement has finally come. Through close collaboration between the recording industries, film and Internet access providers, Internet users will experience a flexible response. The offender will send a first warning message and then a second. In the third, you cut the connection. Simple and effective, they said. The States and Great Britain, where similar legislation exists, 70% of people who share their files would seriously calmed down after the second warning.
In Belgium
With us the problem is more complicated. Since culture is a skill communitised, the Belgian government is unable to get around the table for this kind of topic. Nevertheless, Sabam that manages copyright in Belgium is working closely with the ISP Scarlet to to develop a filtering system that prevents the download protected content. In recent months, Belgacom who manages a large content to be protected (if you count the web and on TV) was less rigid about working with the recording industries.
Virtually
Oliviennes mission is not so easily applicable. To punish the pirates, they should identify what is not easy because the P2P are mostly open source. In other words, any user can use the software and modify it anonymously. "No serious " claim to be the CEO of FNAC and his cronies. They let themselves until 2010 to install filtering programs effective. And even if agreement Oliviennes was really effective, service providers would they see a good eye is to terminate the subscription of many millions of customers?
This new agreement is not the only solution to the crisis disk. SpiralFrog USA, offers to pay the rights holders (artists for example) with the percentage of net advertising harvested by downloading their works. They would found there to free enrichment.
Meanwhile, at home, nothing to apply, nothing serious, nothing too threatening. The resolution to stop illegal downloading may be for another year.
