End Result Of HADOPI? Higher ISP Fees
from the but-is-anyone-buying-more? dept
It's not like people didn't warn everyone what would happen with various three strikes laws. The costs for ISPs were widely discussed, even if the recording industry lobbyists insisted they were overblown. Yet, here we are, a few months into France's HADOPI implementation of three strikes, and French ISPs are already warning users that they need to jack up fees to pay for compliance with HADOPI. And, of course, no one has provided any evidence that kicking people off the internet for file sharing makes anyone any more likely to buy. So, now, not only are people less inclined to buy just in general, but they have less money, because they have to pay more to their ISP. How's that going to save the recording industry's old business again?

Duh.
You don't really think like an industry lawyer, Mike.

Shouldn't that last "20" be a "00"? I cannot find the end of the string without a null (ok, maybe the implicit 0e/0c at the end of the post should tell me.)
But why keep the space after the "."

You should have listened to them... they'd have saved you about 3 trillion dollars (according to J Stiglitz)...
... however, you shouldn't be "bitching" about them now, because this 3-strike thing was all done to be obedient to America. http://bit.ly/esfhzC
Instead you should be "bitching" about Spain, who had the spine (when they found out that 3-Strikes is an American invention) to throw the law out.
Comprende?

Re: Francais
> about 3 trillion dollars
Nah, it wouldn't have. The Dems would have just said, "Oh, look! An extra $3 trillion. Now how can we manage to flush that down the shitter too?"

No wait, let's blame it on everything else except the obvious.

Think of this as the (not so) hidden costs of piracy.

'Hadopi exists because there is piracy', ahhh, priceless. You are a master of humor, sir.

Re: Re: Re:
Let's see:
A: Bullet in head
B: Death
So, according to you, by removing the bullet from the head of someone who got shot, suddenly he'll start living again.
Masterful conclusion!

It has nothing to do with HADOPI.

Free has itemized their bill so that the TV portion of it (the part that the VAT is applied to) works out to only 2€ and so the extra tax on that is about 20 cents.

Another effect of HADOPI
No matter how you look at it, HADOPI is an epic fail.
