France plans to cut off internet pirates

Unread post by Anach » Sat Nov 24, 2007 1:50 am

Internet users in France who download music and films without paying for them could find their web access shut down by a government body, under a ground-breaking industry agreement backed by President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The proposed enforcement body would use information collected by internet service providers on their high­volume users to detect illegal file-sharing. Persistent offenders would be cautioned but could see their internet accounts suspended or terminated if they ignored as few as two warnings.

Stealing is stealing. I was taught that all sins are equal, that's why I stick the worthwhile ones :P

The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.
