Members are named Hadopi

The decree appointing the members of the High Authority to fight against online piracy is published in the Official Journal. Senior officials are well represented.

We do not yet know very well what they will do, but we already know who they are. Members of the Hadopi are formally appointed last few days. The Official Journal (OJ) of 26 December publishes the decree of 23 December 2009 appointing the members of the College and the Committee of Protection of the Rights of the High Authority for the dissemination of works and protection of rights on the Internet (Hadopi). Its mission, still unclear, is to protect the Web works subject to copyright or related rights. It identifies techniques for illicit use of content and offers, if any, solutions to address them.

The list published in OJ includes nineteen figures: nine holders for college Hadopi, three members for the committee. Elected for six years they have been designated by the great body of the State, the President of CSPLA, ministers in charge of Electronic Communications, Consumer Affairs and Culture or by the presidents of the National Assembly and Senate . The officials are very well represented. Some of them were already members of the ARMT, the Regulatory Authority technical measures, created in 2007 by law Copyright and Related Rights in the Information Society (DADVSI) and which was set place a three strikes against piracy, a mission that now fails to Hadopi.
