Spanish Culture Minister: No “3-Strikes” for File-Sharers
Says the govt “is not considering punitive measures for the end user of Internet,” and will focus instead on web sites that illegally host copyrighted material and those that profit from them. The Spanish govt has now officially rejected any plans to disconnect illegal file-sharers from the Internet a la a “three-strikes” graduated response system. Speaking to TVE1’s “TVE Breakfasts” morning TV show, Culture Minister Angeles González-Sinde said the govt “is not considering punitive measures for the end user of Internet.” González-Sinde said it instead plans to “attack the origin of all these products that are on the Web sites, as well as those who benefit from them.” It comes after the recent decision by the European Union to drop a crucial amendment (#138) from its much anticipated Telcoms Package that would’ve prevented member countries from disconnecting illegal file-sharers from the Internet.
