The bill starts off by saying football is organisationally incompetent and can't make money because it's too stupid to do it right, then blames piracy. Yeah right.
a new crime of inciting use of pirate IPTV services or software.
This one is particularly nasty, because simply suggesting to someone that pirate IPTV exists can be used to incriminate people that haven't even done anything wrong. Regardless of your view on piracy, merely discussing something should never put you at risk of criminal charges.
One could argue that proposing this bill has incited me to try IPTV now, before it becomes more risky to do so.
Very bold move on behalf of the French government to restrict free speech. We know how that ended up last time.
How did it end last time?
The guillotine.
Hopefully this time they won't use the Guillotine. Way too humane for the current rulers of France.
Depends how u use it. They often stacked multiple people up and the guy at the bottom would get half chopped and be just suffering their for ages.
Tearing them limb from limb with horses (or I guess these days they'd use cars) is more brutal though and could be made to go longer and be more painful. Crucifixion is also pretty horrible. There are way worse methods out there than the guillotine, even in your scenario of doing multiple people at a time. Methods designed to be slow and torturous by nature.
Wasn’t it more of a good problem than a free speech problem though
Kinda. The people wrote a list of demands before heads started rolling. Their speech was ignored and punished so they resorted to violence.
Sorry, I meant ”food problem”, but I guess your response is still an answer
We have ruined everything in the name of sportsball.
