The current people involved in the debate are actually much more aware of the subject (except for the minister herself ><) The article don't cover other ideas of the governement, that the bunch of french-racist people down here will appreciate even more : - If it happens that your connection is suspended you are then blacklisted and unable to change your ISP to another, and (take a breathe) you're forced to pay the ISP for a service you no longer have ! yes ! - Next big problem with the public wifi access that can be used to copy copyrighted content. "Well easy" said the ministre (Albanel) we make a whitelist of websites acceptable from public hotspot. Allrrriight ! - And the biggest : the whole process of warnings (two) to disconnection is managed without justice representatives, and the alleged infringer is found guilty by default and as to PROVE IS INNOCENCE. Which is the opposite of a normal justice case in france. Just to say that what happens here is worst than what covered the article, to those willing to have a clue of what they cook, check www.laquadrature.net Frenchs != French governement héhéhé, the article is right on the current situation, the little video si just funny and irrelevant because it asks the questions to the lawmakers that are NOT involved in the current law debate, but as a french who knows those clowns its just a must fun.

There is so much to say about this Hadopi law in France, you can read www.pcinpact.com or http://www.laquadrature.net but torrentfreak is just too dumb to put a good article. And worst, the comments insulting France, about his military past are so dumb, you are just showing your non culture, and how Bush's government manipulated US masses against France interest to make you accept the war in Iraq.
