Now I’m not talking Price is Right, nor am I talking about baseball. This is about the RIAA and MPAA wanting ‘3 strike’ laws in place. You can read about that here and here.
What I find ironic and sad actually is that while the Midem conference was going on in France, music execs complained about internet service (or lack thereof). One must note that France actually passed three strikes laws, at the behest of the music and movie industries. Hotels and cafes that had free wifi locked it down because they are afraid to be caught because a customer downloaded something. So businesses afraid of the 3 strikes laws locked down their internet, and music industry execs complained they could not access the internet. I find the irony amusing.
