French President Violates His Own Copyright Law, Again

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been caught violating someone's copyright again. This time, presidential services made 400 unauthorized copies of a DVD when only 50 had been made by the publisher. Mr. Sarkozy, of course, is the one pushing the HADOPI law, which would disconnect the Internet service of an alleged pirate after three allegations of infringement. This isn't the first time he's been connected to copyright violations, either. His party had to pay some €30K for using a song without authorization. If he were he subject to his own law, Mr. Sarkozy would be subject to having his Net disconnected the next time he pirates something."

Well, what's worse? Having a president you did not vote for command the murdering of tens of thousands of people, wrecking whole countries?
Or that culture minister and that president, that the french have.

You decide.
Joke's on you anyway.

P.S.: Protip: I'd go with both ;)

I don't recall Bush promoting little boy rapping bastards as 'culture minister'.

If you get Obama in 2012 it'll be awesome, your government's political parties will have a majority so powerful there is no way anyone can stop them from doing what they want, and yet nothing will continue to get done because they can't agree with themselves.

I guess you haven't been paying attention to the actual politics in America, but Obama's presidency and the Democrat majority in congress has been nothing short of a joke. They have their entire team in office, everything is under their control, and they still can't get anything useful actually accomplished.
