FREE MUSIC HAS A PRICE
sharing music on the net is thievery and from now on it's
UP TO €300,000 FINED AND 3 YEARS INPRISONMENT
(art. 335-4 of the Code of Intellectual Property)
- National Union of Phono Record Producers -
Their market has dropped for more than 25% last year due to increasing concurrence of P2P music downloads...
I don't worry for them, they must still make enough money to smoke their big cigars and continue exploiting their artists...
but if it's no intimidation I guess they'll have to fine 2 million frenchmen for €300 000 each and start building quite a few new prison complexes !
Place your bets, people... will this be enough to discourage wannabe downloaders ?
