    French President Sarkozy Pirates 400 DVDs, Hypocrite?

    French President Sarkozy, a proponent of the three-strikes anti-piracy measure, may himself be a bigger pirate than all of the people he plans to punish under his controversial anti-piracy measure.

    According to the French paper Le Canard Enchaine, Sarkozy got out his DVD ripper tool and made 400 copies of a documentary about himself to give out to diplomats after the 50 legitimate copies given to him by the publisher ran out.

    And even a doctored cover jacket was made, with the publisher's logo photoshopped out and replaced by notes indicating the DVD was produced by "Service audiovisuel de la presidence de la Republique" (President's AV service).

    And this isn't even the first time the president has been caught pirating stuff - at one of his rallies, he had used music from the band MGMT without permission.

    I would totally vote for that guy if he lived in America.

    It's about time some royalty said no to royalties (Pardon my pun)

      I think you should reconsider your vote

      This is the guy that wants kick people off the Internet for downloading a couple of pirated MP3s. The fact that he's a big pirate himself just show what kind of hypocrite he really is.

        He is just another crook. Also remember that the recording industry no matter where it is at has very deep pockets and will try to get their way.
