Going back to the 3 strikes rule the French might be on the verge of making it law

I seem to remember some UK government interest in this also, it was on the BBC technology section, but can't find it now. :(

Nice find, thanks, but the one I had in mind had Lord Triesman in it, and he said that he or the government were looking at the Sarkkozy three strike proposal very closely.

I'll keep looking, shouldn't take long, I think the article was from early last year.

That could be interesting, if something like that came into play and was enforced would there be any customers left on the top two tiers at VM? ;)

Yup, the second article.

Anyone else think its rather an abuse of influence that the Media Mafia are pushing a civil matter via criminal courts and pushing for penelties that are higher than most severe crimes?

Nice racket if you are in the pigtrough.

Its about time that someone properly investigated them and the pricefixing and abuse of their artists. All the moneys claimed back in these cases NEVER go back to the artists and the media mafia are still claiming they are being bled dry.

If they had properly managed the "Napster" effect they could have had a proper content delivery and would not be in this position. Also the artists would get a fairer deal.

I would seriously hope that more artists will go with a "direct to public" method and cut out the industry completely. Its the only way that the existing monoploy will be broken and evicted. (and hopefully be an end to the manufactured "pop" crap that is spewed on our tv. <for the love of god someone shoot simon "Xfactor". Its all his fault>)

side note. I love my V+ box. Adverts? what are they. I'm sick of being sold loans, adverts and other crap... and why do kids need them? Boomerang 4tw :P

The last reported case of Davenport Lyons taking an Internet user to court was actually in a specialist Patents county court apparently.

Not aware of criminal courts being used, or whether it actually makes a difference in the end result.

AND I have just realised this is the wrong thread, apologies to mercyground....OOPS.
