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?

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?

    1. Copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of “original works”.It only protects the specific and original expression of the idea.
    In the US and in most European Countries Copyright, in general, lasts until 70 years after the death of the creator.

    2. We use Emule, Limewire.

    3. The consequences are that by downloading, artists don't receive their copyright

    4. Is a French law introduced during 2009 as a means to control and regulate internet access and encourage compliance with copyright laws.

    5. These are rights holders who identify and report the IP addresses of surfers using platforms or illegal sites to download.

    6. They can pay until 300,000 € fines or possible three years’ jail.
    50,000 French Internet users could be forced offline when Hadopi would start warning illegal users.

    MALINOWSKI Magdalena :

    1. The copyright is a kind of protection of the artistical work of somebody (movies, cd's, books, paintings etc...). It provides the others to copy the author.

    2. I use sometimes Limewire, but now, it doesnt work anymore, so I have to change :(

    3. The main consequence of illegal download is a fall of 50% of the music industry incomes.

    4. Hadopi is a French law against illegal downloading, it is promoting the distribution and protection of creative works on the internet, and this law was created in 2009.

    5. The "high autority" (haute autorité) is controlling illegal downloading on the net and the Comission de Protection des Droits (CDP), which are alike "policemen".

    6. A e-mail is sent to the persons who download too much. At first, it is just some "warnings". Then, the Hadopi law can decide to cut the internet access for a year, and make pay a fine, or even go to jail.

    Moricet Samantha:

    1. Copyright is a protection provided to an author in order to protect his work, his art. It's an exclusive right which warrant to the creator that his work can't be used be anyone else without his agreement.
    Copyright lasts until 70 years after the creator 's death.

    2.I used Emule but I don't use it anymore because this software is very controlled.

    3.The consequence of illegal downloading for the music industry is the fact that its incomes decreased by 50% in 5 years because people no longer buy cds but they donwload them on the internet.

    4. Hadopi is a law passed by the french government in order to prevent internet users from donwloading illegally on the internet and in order to protect creators'right and work. It was passed in May 2009.

    5.The "commission de protection des droits (CDP) controls illegal downloading. It is helped by the access providers which give the IP address of the illegal downloaders and which send warnings emails to them.

    6.People who donwload illegally very often can receive first warrant emails. Then, if they don't stop downloading they can have their internet access cut off and they can have to pay a fine around €300,000.It's also possible that they are sentenced to three years of jail.
    50,000 of french internet users can de forced offline when the Hadopi law would start.

    1- Copyright is the protection of the work of an author such as books, music or films. It doesn’t protect ideas but the original expression of an idea. It lasts 70 years after the death of the author.
    2- We use Limewire, Emule and µTorrent.
    3- The consequence of illegal downloading for the music industry is the fall of the incomes.
    4- Hadopi is a French law that prohibits the illegal downloading to protect artists and to promote the distribution and the protection of creative works on the internet.
    5- Those who control Hadopi law are the “High authority” and La Commission de Protection des Droits.
    6- Those who download illegally very often can pay 300 000€ of fines, be condemned to 3 years of jail. Internet will be cut off too. When Hadopi would start, internet could be cut of for 50 000 French people.

    QUESTIONS
    1)A Copyright permits to the authors to show that their idea is an original idea, so in theory their idea can't be stolen because that is proved they are the first who had it, who find it. (ideas for example for movies, misic, literature, ...)
    The copyright lasts 70 years after the authors's death.

    2)I don't use any download software sorry (yes it does exist)

    3)The consequences of illegal downloading for the music industry are that the artists are not paid for the work they do. People want to have everything on a free way. The music industry doesn't receive benefits for every song we download, so it could be seen as: every music we dowload is lost money for the singer that made it. We can see, on an extreme way, that following those practicies could conduce them to their 'ruin'

    4)A Hadopi is a french law which controls and regulates the access on the internet. That was adopted on 12 May 2009.

    5)In France, Hadopi controls illegal downloading. And more precisly the "Comission of right's protection", "Commission de protection des droits" (CDP)in french.

    6)People who download illegally very often will see thei internet access cut off. They would have to pay 300 000 euros or go in jail for 3 years.
    When Hadopi would start, 500 000 French internet users could have their internet cut off

    1) Copyright is the fact that you protect someone’s work. For example, the book of an author, the film of a director... It lasts 70 years after the author’s death.
    2) I use Limewire.
    3) The consequence of illegal downloading is the fall of 50% of industry revenues.
    4) Hadopi is a law that prohibits the illegal downloading in order to protect artists. It also promotes the distribution and the protection of creative works on internet.
    5) The “High authority” and La Commission de Protection des Droits control illegal downloading.
    6) Those who download illegally very often may pay 300 000€ of fines. Go to jail during 3. And also lose their Internet connection. Internet would be could be cut off for 50 000 French people when Hadopi start.
