The French President, Nicolas Sarkozy was busted with 400 illegal copies of DVDs.
Initially, 50 legitimate DVDs were given to political and personalities, but the demand was larger.
According to The Inquirer, the French leader requested the alternative copies of the film to distribute among some diplomats during a conference. A request was made to the service of Audiovisual of the Presidency of the Republic to record some hundreds of copies, without asking any authorization from the producers of the film.
According to The Huffington Post, the absurdity was so much that the original layer and the logo of the producer Galaxie Presse were substituted by information as ‘Service audiovisuel de la presidence de la Republique’. (Service Audiovisuals Of The President Of The Republic for the people who can't understand that!!)
The copy of the documentary “A Visage Decouvert: Nicolas Sarkozy” represents the possible most constraining situation to a president that is famous for the fight against the file sharing. The nation is embarrassed, said a French woman.
As news published by the site Guardian.co.uk in February of this year, is not the first time that that happens: Sarkozy used a music of the band repeatedly MGMT in some videos without the permission of the group.
All the talk about the world trying to stop illegal piracy.. Smh. Stupid French (& World) Hierarchy.
that's him.
