French Parliament Adopts Final “Three-Strikes” Bill
Now only judge can order Internet disconnection, but accused still not need be present and have no ability to present or dispute evidence. The French Parliament has given its final approval to a “three-strikes” bill that will allow authorities to disconnect illegal file-sharers from the Internet after the National Assembly approved it 258-131, a day after the Senate approved it 285-225. First proposed back in June of last year, the “Creation and Internet” law was later successfully passed before being ruled unconstitutional by the country’s Constitutional Council for the use of the Haute Autorité pour la Diffusion des Oeuvres et la Protection des droits sur Internet (HADOPI), a new govt agency whose task it would be to sanction those accused of illegal file-sharing.
