Well it said downloading and copying directly from dvd rip and have accumulated 488 copies and has landed some to his friend admitted he has on some occasions viewed this with one or two friends,

They don't rely care about P2P as you are saying for them in the article the way it is presented it mean it came kind of half and half internet/dvd rip done by him personaly.

He got away with the mention that it was private copy and as such was protected (kind of fair use).

English law was the same before they had introduce in US the Digital millenium act if I am correct were they prohibit you of 'cracking' the encription and by this make in fact the fair use act irrevelant anymore, well until French Legislator pass same law it won't be applicable in France but the distribution at large remain illegal but now will probably mean way much harder to enforce.

Son in one word consumer are more protected in France then in US or even other anglo saxon country sorry for spelling.

Well, i can only say one thing "Vive Le Justice au Francais". That was probably something about loving onions and horse meat with my level of French!
The whole protected DVD thing really gets up my nose. Unfortunately people still buy the damn things. Also it shows all too clearly that Politics, The American legal system and Corporate America are all too blurred together. Then god bless English law for following suit and showing its own corrupt nature.

No no it was well said and had meaning to me.

You just said Houray if spelling ok for The Justice with a French Touch so Houray or Houra in French so finaly together it is Houray for Justice with a French touch.

I live in Quebec and we don't have corporation calling us about you might with a draw well I might not win personaly but if you organise a draw a winner it must be hehe. See the point and in case of gray zone judge will have the general tendency to side with the common mortal :) Of course that make us miss many draw and other suspicious offer hehe.

Well have a nice day.
