I don’ steal in shops, I don’t see why I should steal on the Internet. Usually laws make thieves not happy, not honest people. And if one day I have a problem because I download GB of linux distro thru torrent, then I will sue people who cut my connection for downloading LEGAL contents.

I am not pro or con Hadopi, I just don’t give a shit about it.

I really don’t see how they’re going to monitor http/newsgroup downloads. And they don’t realize that everything is going to be encrypted after a while, and they will sue people based on some random filenames downloaded on p2p networks. These guys live in the past, and they don’t know it.

Reminder for European electors : this law is directly opposed to the ‘Bono’ amendment, voted several times by the European parliament, with the notable exception of a strong competitor for the title of the dumbest ever right wing : the UMP.

On June, 7th, you’ll be asked to vote for your European deputees. For the people here in France who try to maintain an ounce of common sense in what’s going on in our country, do vote.

Well nice, but what really is needed is a good fast resilient FOSS P2P network that operates mostly anonymous.
An open source serverless implementation of wua.la might be a good start.
