Re: Sounds fair to me said by jc100: Yet, how many Kids know 100000000000x more about pcs than their parents. That's where the problem arises. The parents might be good intentioned and watching their kid. However, they lack the understanding to know everything or prevent certain activities. Excellent point. My problem is this "Under the agreement -- drawn up by a commission headed by the chief executive of FNAC, one of France's biggest music and film retailers -- service providers will issue warning messages to customers downloading files illegally.
If users ignore those messages, their accounts could be suspended or closed altogether"
Thats the equivalent of having the RIAA make our Internet use laws. That shouldn't happen. Not to mention the Artists that CHOOSE to give out free music. Will they be even further blackballed be their respective recording industry? |

At least in France you'll get a few warnings before the extortion letter arrives. |

With RIAA making about 4 times per song sold in America than the artist, who is the copyright protecting?
Of course it's protecting the RIAA's money not the author's song works or rather protecting the RIAA four times a much.
Also beware and very scared anytime large cooperate interests control law making.
