A new report from BBC Tech informs that changes in telecom laws now mean that a court ruling isn't required to disconnect persistent illegal offenders.
What I find interesting is that France so far is the only country who has taken any real actions to curb anti-piracy. I cannot instantly think of a reason why, but the punishment of up to a year offline would certainly make people think twice. Perhaps it's because France is considered a place of creativity and art, so they don't wish for this to be diluted and strangled through illegal copying of material?
However, importantly, the report still does still lend gravitaz to the fact that even our own Prime Minister has identified internet as a human right, along with things that do in fact sustain life, water, warmth etc.
Personally, I think this wrangle will continue for some time, even though the UK's decision is set next month. It will likely take something or someone big to prompt a response that vehemently tackles piracy.
