France To Cut Off Downloaders
France is cracking down on illegal downloaders by cutting off their internet access after 3 strikes.
The law will be policed by a new agency, the High Authority for Copyright Protection and Dissemination of Works on the Internet . Those who have been found illegally downloading files will receive a warning by email and then by registered letter. If the offender persists, their connection will be cut off by their provider for up to a year.
How long till this becomes policy here in the USA as well. Too many governments want to do the RIAA and MPAA's work for them.
