France weighs change in piracy law
http://j.mp/OUIl7u (Variety)
"France's three-year-old anti-piracy law, whose key provisions include
the punishment of multiple offenders, seems to have been beneficial
for the industry. However, the new government is mulling changes to
the law -- changes that are being carefully studied by industry reps
in the U.S. and U.K., who have been working to introduce similar regs
in their countries ... Oliver Dock, VP at the Motion Picture Assn.,
says abandonment of Hadopi's graduated-response strategy would
represent a retreat in battling piracy."
