HADOPI:
- Took 4 years to convict one person, who didn't even actually download the files in question.
- Took 4 years to disconnect one person.
- Cost millions of dollars in taxpayer money.
- Was threatened to have its funding cut, possibly inhibiting its ability to send out warning letters.
- Responded to the above when put in practice by sending out EVEN MORE letters despite supposedly have said ability reduced by reduced funding.

Aside from making the government richer, exactly how was HADOPI beneficial for music and artists?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130614/15203823478/what-snowden-claims-is-both-false-harms-america-how-is-that-possible.shtml#c1101 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:05:47 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130614/15203823478/what-snowden-claims-is-both-false-harms-america-how-is-that-possible.shtml#c1101
