France's new internet agency set up to protect the rights of artists is facing legal action for using a copyrighted design for its logo.
The design agency Plan Creatif that created the Hadopi logo has now admitted it used the typeface by mistake
The French government's web police force – called Hadopi – was set up to stop piracy and clamp down on illegal downloaders.
The agency's logo was unveiled this by French culture minister Frederic Mitterrand, who said that Hadopi "finally had a face".
But within hours of its launch, it was forced to apologise for using a typeface without permission that belonged to France Telecom.
The blunder was spotted by graphic designer Jean-Francois Porchez, who created the distinctive "Bonjour" font and sold it exclusively to France Telecom.
