3 Strikes and we’ll download more

Record industry: ignore that French piracy study!.

A recent study of 2,000 residents of a French town found that more admitted to downloading copyrighted music and video than before the 3 strikes law.

I’ve been writing lately (for my diss) about how laws are most often communicated by non-official sources, like the recording industry.  This type of information dissemination often comes with the spin or coloring of whomever is doing the speaking.  This story is a great example of how that process might backfire.
