French President Busted For Copyright Violation
An anonymous reader writes "ZeroPaid has an interesting take on the story of Nicolas Sarkozy being accused of copyright infringement. The irony, of course, is Sarkozy's pushing of a 3-strikes law — disconnecting from the Internet those accused of file sharing — in France and across the EU. The French president had apparently offered to settle the copyright infringement accusation for one Euro, but the band rejected the offer, calling it an insult. The article notes that each year since 2006, a high-profile anti-piracy entity has been on the wrong end of a copyright infringement notice. In 2008, Sony BMG was sued for software piracy. In 2007, anti-piracy outfit BASCAP received a cease and desist order related to pirated software. And in 2006, the MPAA was accused of pirating 'This Film is Not Yet Rated'."
Anyone up for invading France again and forcing their surrender, or is it my turn?
Bleh, I really don't want it to be my turn.
It's a lot more likely you've just been trolled.

You come into an article about France complaining that the US is full of idiots because of our religion rate. Then when I point out France has a HIGHER religion rate, you say "the French are no saints either." Why don't you figure out what the hell you're trying to say before saying it? Look, either religion = dumb, in which case France (the SUBJECT OF THIS ARTICLE remember) is more dumb than the US, or it doesn't and your statement that 92% of people believe in God means JACK SHIT.
Christ. You're not even anti-American, you're anti-rational thought.
