Too bad file sharing is legally defined as copyright infringement. It is explicitly NOT stealing in the traditional sense.The fact that the **AA still refer to it as theft shows how much they rely on misinformation.
With Numericable, I'm getting two lines of 30Mbps, digital tv, and a phone line with free calls to land lines in Europe, all of 29.99 euros. With neuf I get 8Mbps for 12.50 euros.Phillip.
This isn't just about access to entertainment; it's about access to information. This is about the basic human right to the freedoms of speech and of thought. I don't even have enough space to list the clichès written about this: "knowledge is power," "the pen is stronger than the sword," etc...
Stealing is wrong. Censorship and controlling people's access to information is astronomically worse. Freedom of speech is pointless if no one is able to hear it or read it, so in essence, they are taking away the freedoms of speech and of thought.
a mix between Kucinich and Al Gore ???Let me give you just a major difference: Kucinich wants to give social security for every citizen, Sarkozy wants to destroy it.(And just for the record, I'm french)
