HADOPI Receives 25,000 Infringement Reports per Day

Published on 10-26-2010 02:34 AM

When the French govt created the HADOPI to be at the head of the three-strikes anti-piracy system it didn’t probably suspect how busy its agency would be.
According to Billboard, HADOPI receives 25,000 music related copyright infringements each and every day.
How HADOPI will change the fate of digital sales in France is still a big question mark (although we are among those who think this is far from being the right solution to optimize sales). French labels trade body director general David El Sayegh, says it is too early for an estimation in this respect.
The French ‘three strikes’ model allows copyright owners to track online infringements and report the related IP addresses to HADOPI. The agency can then order the ISP to reveal the identity of the end users suspected of illegal file sharing and ultimately follow with a warning message by email via the ISP.
While HADOPI initially expected a torrent of complaints to be reported on their hotline after the ‘three strikes’ warnings started to flood, it seems that the well known rebellious nature of French people was rather tamed so far. Should this spell ‘resignation’?

How to criminalise a nation?

When something becomes so popular that almost everyone is doing it, you can argue that is should become legal.

In China, it is illegal to have more than one child per couple, which demonstrates that a law is created to satisfy the requirements of the law maker, irrespective of how it affects the general populace.

Some laws will be almost impossible to enforce, and some laws only suit those who belong to the ruling class.

Many laws are repugnant to the population, but we have to endure them because our bosses have placed them. Laws are designed to protect them, not us, or if they protect us, it is because we are considered a resource for them.

Ever wondered why the old 'Personnel' departments were replaced with 'Human Resources'? It is because that is all we are. Resources, consumers, and cannon fodder is what we are. We are born to be used...

25000 IPs equals 17000 connections equals 16000 people equals 3000 french people equals 2700 french people who really did infringe a copyright equals 2000 french people who really did infringe a copyright that will recieve a letter at all equals 1000 french people who really did infringe a copyright that will recieve a letter who give a shit equals 10 french people who really did infringe a copyright that will recieve a letter at all that give a shit but are so pissed about HADOPI that they take violent action against this crappy agency. Have fun.

At my job they call us bodies. They will get on the radio and say we need some more bodies down here to get this done etc...

Is it that much harder to say people?

Being called a body is fine I guess, The boss at the last company i worked for would call you "DICKBRAIN" or "HEY" and snap his fingers
This ass hat was a skid mark of the highest order.

And I agree with TheFoX, we are all Cannon fodder, Nothing more nothing less.

Certain phrases are used to dehumanise us. To call someone a body, or number, or resource distances the caller from those being called. It is akin to shooting someone at 150 yards as opposed to shooting them at 5 yards. The bigger the distance, the more detachment you have.

In fact, a sniper has a very easy job because they often cannot even make out facial features which would define their target as human. Our very nature means that the closer we get to someone else, the more we accept them as human.

The easiest, and most detached way, of killing people is to place a bomb and walk away. The closest you then get to your casualties are the numbers of dead and injured you read on the news.

Simply put, certain terms are used to to allow the mind of the aggressor to think of people as subhuman, much as Hitler did when he convinced a nation that Jews weren't human. If you can think of a person as a wild animal, then you overcome your guilt reflex, allowing you to cause harm that your conscience would not normally allow.

Murderers often don't think of their victims as people.
