France Disconnects First File-Sharer From the Internet

France Disconnects First File-Sharer From the Internet

After three years and millions of warning letters, the French three-strikes anti-piracy law "Hadopi" has resulted in the first Internet disconnection. The customer in question will be without Internet access for two weeks and must also pay a 600 euro fine. Quoting officials, PC Inpact reports that the file-sharer was caught sharing one or two files and failed to respond to earlier warnings. If no appeal is filed within 10 days the file-sharer's Internet provider will move forward with the disconnection.

 For 15 days the customer will be denied access to the Internet, but the ISP must ensure that e-mail, instant messaging and other VOIP services continue to work. The sentencing comes at a peculiar time. Last month a nine-member panel recommended that the Government scraps the Hadopi agency, the body that currently oversees the graduated response system.

Only for 2 weeks, and its not even a disconnection, as it says they still got to be allowed to e-mail, instant message and use VOIP etc..., which you can't do unless your connected to the internet, LOL

So ironically they have likely blocked HTTP and left p2p open

You'd think there would be more file-sharing in France with all the beauticians around there...
