		<description><![CDATA[Does France’s trailblazing Internet antipiracy law risk death by a thousand cuts? That could well be the case in light of comments made on Thursday by Culture Minister Aurélie Filippetti, in which she revealed plans to slash funding for the organization enforcing the law — one of the few surviving policy innovations of former conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy’s reign. Yet because the French left is as reliant on the support of its entertainment industry as U.S. Democrats are on backing from Hollywood, the ruling Socialists may yet decide that repealing the iconic Sarkozy law isn&#8217;t worth the ire it will raise among musicians, actors and studios. Instead, they may simply leave the legislation on the books, while completely gutting its implementation. In an interview published on Thursday by the weekly Le Nouvel Observateur, Filippetti said she’ll reduce the budget for the country’s antipiracy agency — the High Authority for the Broadcast of Works and Protection of Copyrights on the Internet, known as Hadopi. In a period of economic crisis that’s imposing belt-tightening all around, Filippetti said, she preferred to cut budgets on state agencies whose usefulness is in doubt rather than on those whose services are valued. “Financially speaking, 12 million euros per year and 60 employees is [an] expensive [way] to send out a million e-mails,” Filippetti said, referring to Hadopi’s procedure of sending three cease-and-desist warnings to Internet users identified as having downloaded copyrighted content illegally before they are fined and cut off from Web access. “Within the context of budget cutting, I’ll request operational funding to Hadopi be reduced … I’d rather reduce financing of things whose usefulness hasn’t been proven.” Gauging Hadopi’s impact often depends on who is asked. An independent study released after the law’s 2009 passage found online piracy had actually increased by 3% in the first year. Later surveys showed a modest decline among people who stopped their occasional downloading of copyrighted material in deference to Hadopi. A poll of French Internet users commissioned by Hadopi itself last year indicated that the law, and its graduated warning procedure,<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=38574&#038;subd=timeglobalspin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
