Shake Your Head

Starting Jan 1, 2007 people illegally downloading movies/music via P2P can be jailed up to 2 years in Germany. I really don't know who's more corrupt, the movie and music associations and lobby groups, or the frigging polititions and judges who listen (and act) to them.

Here's something you don't hear me say/see me write every day: France got it right when they took the position of forcing iTunes to de-DRM. France logical, responsive and good; Germany illogical, unresponsive and bad? If it wasn't such a great sunny day for BBQ'ing on my patio with a cold beer I'd be alot more shocked than I am right now ;-)
