French presidency accused of piracy again
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The French weekly "Le Canard Enchaîné" has reported today that French
presidency has made 400 unauthorized copies of the documentary "A visage
découvert : Nicolas Sarkozy," going so far as to replacing the name of the
editor with logos promoting "Service audiovisuel de la présidence de la
République".
The editor, Galaxie Press, confirmed that they had only shipped 50 copies but
Sarkozy's gang needed more and took matters into their own hands.
Making the story all the more hypocritical is the fact that the French
parliament recently approved the highly controversial 'three strikes' law for
Internet pirates, giving authorities the power to disconnect multiple time
offenders from the Web completely.
This is strike number two for Sarkozy and party, who paid American band MGMT
€30,000 as a settlement in March over the unauthorized use of its music during
a political rally. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/17143.cfm
One more strike and you are out Mr. President?
