Some forms of piracy are on the rise in France despite the passing of a tough anti-piracy law, suggests a study.
In late 2009, France adopted a "three-strikes law" which means persistent pirates can be thrown offline.
A small-scale study shows that some French people are changing their habits and getting pirated pop and movies from sources not covered by the law.
Overall, found the study, illegal behaviour has increased by 3% since the law was passed.
Despite being passed in October, the law is not yet being enforced.
It looks like folks are just finding ways round the law, as is normal.
