Enforcement on this one? Seriously? Are you going to lead-shield offender houses so they don’t get open WiFi?

Morons.

Who’s to say what’s legal or not, copyright infringed or not? Certainly the public wouldn’t know. So this means all file sharing activity then? File sharing cannot be illegal, and I would never support such an arbitrary law. It would also mean the end of the French internet, and any other country foolish enough to follow suit. “There is no reason that the internet should be a lawless zone”. Again, what has that to do with file sharing activities? Millions of artists and business people rely on the Internet for a living and that includes file transfers. Since the Internet will be dead, all the companies which use it for advertising will also suffer and possibly die. Thanks France, MPAA, RIAA.

One other point, what’s to prevent a victim’s name from just being picked out a 2nd and 3rd time for no reason other than to force him offline? We must rely on the integrity of the cartels? That’s an abominable contradiction in terms.

“…the issue of artists’ rights….”

Oh Gawd, not that rot again. That horse is DEAD. Stop beating it and speak some truth for a change. This is about money for the media conglomerates. It has so little to do with “artist’s rights” that to bring it up in reference to this legislation is a farce. Bad Nicolas! Very bad.
