French copyright enforcers: “Pirates are big spenders on legit content”

by on August 2, 2011

From Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing: French copyright enforcers: “Pirates are big spenders on legit content”. I’m not quite sure what the relevance of this is; people who buy legitimate content tend to (a) be more interested in music and movie downloads than other, and (b) tend to be more technically savvy and have the right equipment (iPods, iPads, Apple TV, etc.) than others. And such people tend to be more able to or prone to pirate than others. So why would this be a surprise or relevant. Why.

The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.

We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
