Three Strikes Law PASSED in France!

by LoneVVolf - 5/13/09 11:31 PM

Although it was initially rejected last month, as reported on BOL, the three-strikes law (HADOPI) was just approved in France.

agreed - unbelievable. How are they going to enforce it? Just have some blacklist with account owner names? Are they going to constantly watch the 3-strikes offenders to make sure they don't get online? What about public wi-fi spots?

The legislation seems full of holes...

Silly...REALLY!

Pretty silly for lawmakers to not understand how fast the landscape changes in tech-world. If there is a will to pirate online downloads, people will find a way around it.

Maybe next step is for France to filter out all Google (or any search engine) results...god forbid, some wiseguy will google how to hack around it without ISP detection.

Hack...there are ways already!
