 Mr Sarkozy''s comments were addressed to an audience of leading multimedia executives who had gathered in Paris for a conference ahead of the G8 summit.

Plans by Mr Sarkozy for global co-operation in regulating the internet will be opposed by David Cameron, it was reported today.

 Mr Sarkozy's comments angered Google Inc's Eric Schmidt, who said no one would win if ‘some stupid rule,’ stunted the growth of the web. 

Mr Sarkozy is notorious among techies for creating a law that calls for copyright pirates to be cut off from the internet.

He caused further animosity when he lauded the gathering of tough tech titans executives, that included Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, for helping fuel the Arab spring and spurring economic growth.

 Yochi Benkler, a Harvard University professor known for championing open source ideas, said governments must be careful about unintended consequences of strict copyright rules.

‘You can make the Internet safe for Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga, or you can make it safe for the next Skype,’ said Benkler, referring to the pop music stars and the wildly successful start-up internet telephony service. ‘You have to choose.’
