Once again the laws that are pushed by the elite are only for the masses, not for the elite itself. How can they propose laws with a straight face that they themselves know they are constantly breaking?
I'm really starting to think we need to chip away at the politicians' immunity. Too often they try to pass laws that they themselves wouldn't be held accountable for breaking.
- mattmanser 15y agoDo you honestly think this was Sarkozy himself? I'm surprised this is the highest comment at the moment.
- canop_fr 15y agoIt's clear that the Elysée is big and full of workers of every kind.
- DrJokepu 15y agoWhile it probably wasn't the president himself, that makes no difference at all in the context of the French "three strikes" law that allows disconnecting file sharers for up to 12 months without the possibility of judicial appeal. I don't know how to express this, there's simply not a chance in hell, not even in a million years, that the Élysée (the French equivalent of the White House) will be disconnected from the Internet because of file sharing.
- namdnay 15y agoI believe the three strikes only applies to homes, not offices.
- DrJokepu 15y agoI am by no means an expert in French Law but after reading through the text of the law on Legifrance I did not find an provisions that would limit the law to private or home users only. Perhaps someone from France could confirm this?
- babarock 15y agoSo if my little brother at home gets caught 6 times, is it okay for me to say "wasn't me, t'was my little bro"?
- inportb 15y agoYeah, but then you gotta hand over your little bro. You could also blame the malware from your little bro's Internet browsing habits.
- babarock 15y agoThat's the point you can't. I live in France and remember when the "3 strikes" law was passed. People complained about intruders breaking in ther home networks to download illegaly. Government asnwered: "you should be responsible for securing your router".

- powertower 15y agoYou're fighting yourself, not the elites, because what you are fighting is human nature. It's human nature to be more forgiving to yourself, your family, and your kind, than to others. This is how it's always been. And this is how you yourself have lived your entire life. As long as you don't understand this, nothing will change. Because all you're doing is complaining about something you 1) can't change and 2) don't even practice. Only after this realization can the real conversation start. Everything before is pointless.
