Google, not just a search engine.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin are the creators of Google.
When they first realized their project, their "society", they were working in a garage they were renting. (1998)
Craig Silverstein, the actual director of Google Technology, was here since the beginning.
Their motor engine already responds to 10 000 requests per day!
 
They moved in an office in 1999, answering to 500 000 requests per day.
Companies of venture capital helped them by giving to them 25 million dollars.
 
The Google society moved a last time to the "GooglePlex", California. AOL/Netscape chose Google as search engine. It became a true search engine that answers to 3 million requests per day.

In 2000 Google became bilingual and became the first search engine in the world.

Today, Google is known all around the world. It has applications for nearly everything and its power is huge.

ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING: HADOPI AND YOU - Alaime, Bailly

 

Illegal Downloading - Hadopi and You

ALAIME Clémence

BAILLY Cindy

INTRODUCTION

Most of us have music and movies on our computer instead of buying CD’s and DVD’s.

How do we get them?  We, mostly teenagers, download it illegally, pirate it.

Indeed, most of us prefer to download on the Internet rather than spending money on CD or DVD, but this action has a cost and has negative effects on the music and movies industries, but also on the society.

That is the reason why the French government decided to introduce a new law in 2009 aiming at controlling and regulating internet access. This is HADOPI.

What are the issues of this law?

QUESTIONS

1) What is copyright? How long does the copyright last?

http://www.piperpat.com/IPInformation/Introduction/WhatisCopyright/tabid/92/Default.aspx

So, it is a type of property that is founded on a person’s skill and labour. It is designed to prevent the unauthorized use by others of a work.

2) What download software do you use?

Those software are Peer to peer (P2P), it is a network protocol for computer users, used for downloading torrents or P2P files. Rather than connecting to the Internet, P2P software allows surfers to connect with each other to search for and download content.

P2P is legal but if you broadcast protected copyright works, this becomes an illegal use.

3) Let’s take the example of downloading music, what are the consequences of illegal downloading for the music industry?

http://musique.fluctuat.net/blog/31605-52-artistes-contre-le-telechargement-illegal.html

4) What is Hadopi? When was it adopted?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HADOPI_law

5) Who controls illegal downloading?

http://www.dossierfamilial.com/loisirs/internet/hadopi-et-telechargement-illegal-mode-d-emploi,5834

6) What happen to people who download illegally very often?

When Hadopi would start, how many French internet users could have their internet cut off?

CONCLUSION

->Circle the correct answer<-

We have seen that Hadopi is a law against / for the illegal downloading adopted by the Senate in June 2008 / May 2009 / October 2009 that consists in controlling and punishing people who use illegal downloading. According to the « réponse graduée » method, people can be emailed / receive a phone call / be sent a letter but also can be cut of their internet access.

Hadopi was completed by a new law called Olivennes law project / Hadopi 2 adopted in September 2009.

Since the government created the Hadopi law, most people, mostly teenagers, still download illegally, even if they know what can be the risks, it seems clear that they don’t really feel concerned by the law.

The Hadopi law is a good project to change mentalities, bad habits about illegal downloading, also for the music and movie industries but, does this new law really work? Does it reduce illegal downloading? Is this law truly adapted?
