Online piracy banned in France

by Lin Freestone

A new accord has been signed in France whereby online users who repeatedly download illegal online content are banned from using the Internet.

ISPs in France will pass information on heavy users of file-sharing networks to a new enforcement agency. The users will be formally warned to stop and, if they persist, their connection will be cut.

The British Record Institute has been seeking to persuade ISPs in the UK that they should implement such procedures, but progress has been limited.
