ΝΟΜΟΣ HADOPI /SARKOZY

Με το ξεκίνημα της χρονιάς τέθηκε σε ισχύ ο γνωστός νόμος Σαρκοζύ για τον 'περιορισμό της πειρατείας στο ιντερνετ' (Loi Hadopi / Three strikes law) που είχε κριθεί αντισυνταγματικός, όπως είχα γράψει και παλιότερα

To παραπάνω γαλλικό σκίτσο είναι κατατοπιστικό για το τι συμβαίνει και τις κυρώσεις.
Για όσους δεν ξέρουν Γαλλικά, βάζω μετάφραση στα αγγλικά

1. Suppose you didn’t close the door to your apartment properly.
   • Hey! It’s open! We didn’t pull it shut properly?
2. And a neighbour came in and stole your DVD collection
   • My God! My Harry Potter collection! And all of my Disney collection! Gone!
   • He left my three Ozu films… that’s weird. A thief who doesn’t like the Japanese?
3. This seriously hurts all the authors of these films
   • Do you realise, the thief will be able to watch Snow White without paying! This will ruin Disney!
4. You are guilty of “a serious breach of the obligation to monitor access to your multimedia equipment”
   • I didn’t know! I thought that Harry Potter protected his DVDs with a magic spell. And that the Hulk beat up thieves with his super powers.
5. As punishment, you are thrown out of your apartment for 3 months! (And not just the guilty party, the whole family, even the pet cat)
   • I can’t even watch my Ozu any more
   • That’s not the worst of it
   • lil’cat! Eat this rat, he’s keeping me from sleeping!
   • Yeah, right…
6. And you’re lucky that we don’t set fire to your apartment
   • If it was a house, I’d think about it. But in a 10 story apartment block, we have to wait until everyone is guilty! It takes a little longer.
