France Implements Law to Crack Down on P2P Users

I just finished reading the report on TechCrunch saying that France and more importantly the French ISPs are implementing a 3 strikes and you’re out policy for internet users that are using P2P. This of course makes me wonder if this is just a French thing or if the French adopting this law will prod other countries such as the US to adopt similar policies. My guess is no. The US believes in a free market society and there are just too many legal uses of P2P technology that I don’t see the US ever being stupid enough to implement this type of policy.

This is a big win for the RIAA, but it’s definitely just a battle and not the war.
