French "3-Strikes" to Disconnect Users of Illegal Streaming Sites?
Found on Zeropaid on Monday, 31 January 2011
The first letters, or strikes, we're sent out last October, and a study has shown that only 4% were to quit.
Now Toubon is making the graduated response system seem even more ridiculous by claiming that the the 'Creation and Internet' law also covers illegal streaming and that users of these sites will be targeted just like users of illegal P2P applications and services.
It's amazing that he even thinks that users of illegal streaming sites could be monitored.
Sounds like a try to introduce the complete monitoring of all online activity. At least they didn't pull the "protect the children" card; well, for now. But as long as Nicolas Sarkozy is in bed with Carla Bruni, who is in the music business, the media industry will have it easy in France.
