Hadopi is dead: "three strikes" buried by highest court.



The Constitutionnal Council, highest jurisdiction in France gave its
decision [1] concerning the HADOPI "three strikes" law, final stage
before the promulgation of the law. It decided that access to Internet
and presumption of innocence are more important than the idiotic schemes
from the entertainment industries to artificially prolong their obsolete
models.

All sanctioning power (ie. disconnecting internet users) has been
removed from the HADOPI.

"This is a great victory for citizens who proved they can altogether act
to protect their Freedom. HADOPI's 'three strikes' is finally buried.
All we have now is a big tax-sponsored spam machine for the
entertainment industries. But this is not the end of Sarkozy's will to
control the Internet. The next law, LOPPSI, is already on tracks and
will be about filtering the content on the Internet. Citizens must
celebrate this great victory but remain watchful..." declares Jérémie
Zimmermann, cheerfully.
