[United Press International] Online piracy bill passes French assembly

Posted on


A representative of the Internet freedom organization, La Quadrature du Net, said the bill’s passage in the assembly was indicative of the « blind corporatism » in the French government, the EU Observer said Friday.

« The vote … is a symbol of the technological ignorance of a government and a majority in the service of a blind corporatism. The industries that required the Hadopi are not close to being saved (by this law),«  group representative Jeremie Zimmermann said following Thursday’s vote.
