France adopts law that lets entertainment goons take your family off the net if one member is accused (without evidence) of violating copyright
,----[ Quote ]
| The French Parliament has adopted HADOPI 2, a law aimed at
| establishing a so-called "three-strikes" policy in order
| to fight file-sharing. The Constitutional Council made
| groundbreaking decision on June 10th 2009 that recognized
| access to the Internet as essential to the full exercise
| of free speech, and invalidated the sanctioning power of
| HADOPI 1. The law HADOPI 2, despite the internet cutoff
| now being handled in an expedient form of judicial
| justice, it is as flawed and dangerous as its predecessor,
| for it was only designed to circumvent the Constitutional
| Council's decision. The war on sharing continues its way
| as HADOPI 2 will go through the constitutional test again.

,----[ Quote ]
| France's long talked-out law to kick repeat copyright infringers off the
| Internet has finally come up for debate in Parliament. If passed, it would be
| illegal not to secure one's Internet connection, and even public WiFi
| hotspots will have to offer only a "white list" of approved sites.
