MEP who wrote copyright proposal is an infringer
EFF's Danny O'Brien sez, "Klaus-Heiner Lehne, the Euro MP proposing that Europe turn *all* infringement (including copyright, patent and trademarks) into criminal offenses - investigated by national police forces, and punishable with long prison sentences - turns out to have used copyrighted Apple graphics on his own ego site. If his amendment to IPRED2 had passed, would he turn himself in, or merely rat on his webmaster?"
