I remember a few months ago, after the adoption of the “
law of three blows ” in France, a few confused notes sounded in many publications - what now, they say, will be with file sharing? In addition, a little more than a year ago, the “Pirate Bay” problems started - moreover, the problems were very significant, this time no one threatened with a finger, everything ended much worse (you can read about it
here ). Well, in France, in general, file fighters feel like heroes, who are one step to victory. But nobody took a step and did not do something. But now, in June, at a press conference, it was stated that the agency HADOPI, which should track the "criminals", is ready to take on the case. And again - just words. What is the matter?
But the fact is that the fighters against file sharing really do not know what to do next. The same heroes from the RIAA spent nearly a hundred million dollars on maintaining claims, while covering only a small part of their expenses. And the file sharing both lived and lives, albeit a bit shabby (really a bit).

Apologists of the fight against users of peer-to-peer networks from France in one voice began to complain that the implementation of the law of "three blows" (while the user is "illegal" twice warned, and then disconnected from the Network) requires very significant financial investments. The same head of the video game industry organization in France, Jean-Claude Larue, calculated that to track just a hundred games in various file sharing networks, you need to spend more than 400 thousand euros per year.
Another figure, Jean-Francois Cope, decided for himself that the fight against file sharing will not work, because the existing legislation will (() tracking malicious violators of copyright law, that is, all those involved in file sharing.
The most interesting thing is that after the adoption of the law of "three blows" in France, and then in England, file-sharing traffic only grew. And by the way, in England, despite the adoption of this law, no one is doing anything (except for very "productive" cries about the need to fight against "violators"), because few people understand what to do.
That's interesting, but what did the "wrestlers" think before the law was passed? Why no one counted anything? Or it was not clear that file sharing, which exists for more than one five-year period, simply does not throw caps on?
