France Passes Stern Anti-P2P Law

October 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

So, since France’s three-strikes law has made it through its legislative hurdles and is going to be enacted. If actually works as intended, we should quickly see significant growth in sales of iTunes and other legitimate online services operating in France, correct?

I’m doubtful of that actually happening but I’ve been accused of being a cynic.  If anybody wants to make a wager on what the first-year effects of France’s crackdown, I’m all ears. You know where to reach me . . .

Oh, and from what I’ve heard in my travels, the term one uses in polite company for what France is doing is “graduated response.”
