The ‘three strikes’ law passed by the French Parliament a few weeks ago has now been rejected by the French Constitutional Council. Finally, some sense, but for how long.
When the law was first voted on by the French National Assembly, it was rejected, only to be passed when it came time for them to vote on the law a second time around. The law was passed despite the EU disallowing such regulations among their members, only to now be disapproved by the French themselves.
This is a very important outcome that finally stands up against the idea that an internet pirate can be punished without being given a fair trial. This is the very reason the French Constitutional Council rejected the law. Hopefully this means that it will be the end of this law for good, but I somehow doubt it will be.
