Heise reports that the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés, the French data protection commission, has empowered Syndicat des Editeurs de Logiciels de Loisi (SELL) to monitor P2P sites in the hope of detecting copyright infringements. Once an infringement is detected, SELL will as a first step send an automated warning email. If the infringement continues, SELL may track down the IP address of the infringer and take further action.


The IPKat says, if you don’t fancy being at the receiving end of such an action, the solution is simple – don’t make illegal downloads.

More hard sells here, here and here

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
