France Passes “Three-Strikes” Law for Second Time
Satisfies Constitutional Council’s concern that only a judge can disconnect accused file-sharers from the Internet, but also holds responsible those that unwittingly allow third parties to to use their connection for illegal file-sharing. France’s lower house of parliament formally passed a revised “three-strikes” bill that will allow authorities to disconnect illegal file-sharers from the Internet.
