During the 24th Film Meetings organised by the ARP (the Civil Society of Writers-Directors-Producers) in Dijon, French Minister of Culture Fleur Pellerin responded to the growing concerns of French film and television professionals, reminding them of “the government’s preference for a graduated response” and listing several practical measures (a blacklist of illegal websites, a charter for online advertising players and online payment method organisations, strengthening anti-cybercrime services, and so on). “Piracy has again become a great scourge that is beginning to be a major burden on the activities of television companies,” declared Rodolphe Belmer (managing director of Canal+).
