[TheSun] France passes tough new web laws

Posted on


The new « three strikes » rules means illegal downloaders will get three warnings from a new web police force, before having their connection cut off.

The creation and internet bill was passed by MPs yesterday and is due to come into force in the autumn. […]

Film star Catherine Deneuve has joined the protest against the law, calling it « inapplicable and ignorant ».

While a protest group called the Quadrature du Net said artists were wrong to back the law because it cast them as opponents of the young who are their main fans.
