French court fines film pirates
Five men ordered to pay $1.4 million for Web scheme
By ELSA KESLASSY
PARIS -- A Paris court has sentenced five French pirates to three-to-six months in jail, and fined them a total of 1.1 million Euros ($1.4 million) in damages.
The five men belonged to two powerful pirate teams known as Cinefox and Carnage that provided Internet users with hundreds of films obtained illegally.
Damages will go to right-holders, which according to French reports, include Disney, Universal and Warner Bros..
The court decision comes as France's anti-piracy regime, known as Hadopi, is currently being revised amid a months-long industry consultation led by former Canal Plus topper Pierre Lescure.
The jail sentencing of individual pirates marks a radical departure Hadopi, which says that anyone found guilty of three infringements will have its internet subscription suspended for up to one year. In three years since its inception, Hadopi hasn't cut off anybody's Internet access, and its role has been confined in large parts to educating consumers about piracy rather than punishing violators.
