Bad user - No Internet for you!
I don’t have time to blog, really, but this is just too scary a thought. From this Techcrunch post:
A pact between the French Government, French ISP’s and the local music and film industry will see French users who download material from P2P networks losing their internet access.
French internet users will face a three strikes and you’re out policy, according to the NY Times. Users will receive a warning for each illegal download before losing their service on the third infringement.
NO, INTERNET?! That’s human cruelty! I’ll go with decapitation, thanks!
