After France’s three-strike system (also known as HADOPI) was praised by President Sarkozy and France’s film company Gaumont , French Culture Minister Aurélie Filippetti made a shocking statement. From his claims, HADOPI is not only costing the country too much money, but has also failed to improve the availability of legal content. HADOPI, as many of you may already know, was proposed by President Nicolas Sarkozy with the purpose to fight piracy and discourage file-sharing. After becoming law, the president was very happy with the results, claiming the thanks to HADOPI 95% of those who received the first warning letter stopped from downloading copyrighted materials (according to a report that covered a period of one year – from October 2010 to December 2011). But France’s new Culture Minister Aurélie Filippetti does not agree and promised that she will not support HADOPI. In Nouvel Observateur the new minister said that the legislation is costing the country too much money, especially with the economic crisis going around.
