Comment Re:High court of Paris? (Score 2) 62

What is this "high court of Paris"? There is no court named like that in France. Is it Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris? or Cour d'Appel de Paris? Or even Cour de Cassation, which is french supreme court?

See the NextImpact article (French) : it is the "tribunal de grande instance de Paris".

As it lost, the SNEP has to pay €10,000 to Microsoft and as much to Google.

According to this theory, some highly advanced computer programmer of the future has devised this simulation, and we are unknowingly part of it.

Wouldn't he have to be a computer programmer of the present, if he wrote this simulation and we're in it RIGHT NOW?

It is a computer programmer of the future, but his software licence expired, so he had to change backwards the date of his computer to continue using it.

Comment that's nothing ! (Score 1) 446

As would say Topper in a Dilbert strip : "That's nothing".

Here in France, to protect the Artists, with the HADOPI law, some people like mediasentry will give IP addresses of people suspected to have done P2P to the HADOPI (Haute Autorité pour la diffusion des oeuvres et la protection des droits sur Internet).
Then the HADOPI will ask ISPs to send you an email, it happends again, a "real" mail, and if it happens again your connection will be suspended (but it you have an 12 month contract with your ISP, you'll continue to pay).

You will be guilty by default.

The only way out is to put a spying software that forbids you some sites (list not published) that has to be continuously running and communicating with the HADOPI servers to prove it's running.

Software editors will publish these programs that will have an HADOPI agreement, but will not be forced to be open source, or even be interoperating. We won't know what they'll do...

With theses programs, there will be no need to ask the ISPs which website we have visited.
