torrentfreak.com — The French Hadopi legislation passed last month introduced draconian measures to combat piracy, including a “three strikes” regime for persistent copyright infringers. However, France’s highest constitutional authority today ruled that Internet access is a fundamental human right and killed the three-strikes provision.

I think you're confused about the law. Obviously evidence needs to be obtained. The great thing about torrents is that you just have to connect to the torrent and you get every single person that is pirating it. Strike!!!

lets not for get who is actually behind the MPAA - RIAA, these are the companies that need to be targeted and boycotted into changing their ways, purchase only 2nd hand media and do not purchase anything branded sony, why allow the fecktards to dictate hardware DRM anymore.Name and shame the companies as all the **AA trade group name is for is to protect the f**king capitalist corporate globalist wankers from bad press.RIAA, CRIA, SOUNDEXCHANGE, BPI, IFPI, Ect:# Sony BMG Music Entertainment# Warner Music Group# Universal Music Group# EMIMPAA, MPA:# Sony Pictures# Warner Bros. (Time Warner)# Universal Studios (NBC Universal)# The Walt Disney Company# 20th Century Fox (News Corporation)# Paramount Pictures Viacom?(DreamWorks owners since February 2006)====================================================================If payola wasn't bad enough to destroy indie competition you have this:Is it justified to steal from thieves? READ ON.RIAA Claims Ownership of All Artist Royalties For Internet Radio <a class="user" href="http://slashdot.org/articles/07/04/29/0335224.shtml">http://slashdot.org/articles/07/04/29/0335224.shtm ...</a>"With the furor over the impending rate hike for Internet radio stations, wouldn't a good solution be for streaming internet stations to simply not play RIAA-affiliated labels' music and focus on independent artists? Sounds good, except that the RIAA's affiliate organization SoundExchange claims it has the right to collect royalties for any artist, no matter if they have signed with an RIAA label or not. 'SoundExchange (the RIAA) considers any digital performance of a song as falling under their compulsory license. If any artist records a song, SoundExchange has the right to collect royalties for its performance on Internet radio. Artists can offer to download their music for free, but they cannot offer their songs to Internet radio for free ... So how it works is that SoundExchange collects money through compulsory royalties from Webcasters and holds onto the money. If a label or artist wants their share of the money, they must become a member of SoundExchange and pay a fee to collect their royalties.'"<a class="user" href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/4/24/141326/870">http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/4/24/141326 ...</a>

Here is a good test to determine if something can be a right or not. Does someone else have to give it to you? If the answer is yes, the thing cannot be a right. This is because you do not have a right to another persons time or efforts, ever.---------Pay for your own mothers milk you f**king bitch.You have no right to breast feed.
