“Further more, La quadrature du net has investigated the petitionâ¦ Many of the names are fake, a lot of these âartistsâ dont exist, are members of the french IFPI, or their names have been used without their knowledgeâ¦ Oh yes nice petition indeedâ¦”

La quadrature notes that the names appearing in the petition are not artistic names but real names of artists. So, don’t expect to find Madonna under the name of Madonna there.

Artists who do not want their fans to be hurt must leave the major labels if they are still signed with them.

But there are hundreds of artists who signed the petition supporting the bill. Their names are posted on La Quadrature du Net website.

Looks like RIAAradar is not enough, because artists who supported the bill will not be in that stoplist. For example, I seriously doubt that our old friend Indiana Gregg made the list. Actually, BPIradar site lists Indiana Gregg as “safe”, but I seriously doubt that anyone in their sane mind would buy her album after reading two articles on Torrentfreak and empty threats on emptv.com
