In particular, the “Amendment 138” is a first (and quite huge) stone in the garden of proponents of the “three-strikes” approach (that is, the banning of users from the Internet when they are allegedly found guilty by private agencies of sharing files in a way not allowed by the copyright holder).
While a “three-strikes” bill is about to be submitted to the French senate by the Ministry of the Majors^H^H^H^H^H^HCulture, the impact of such an amendment can be tremendous in sinking down such attempts, and having lawmakers rethink the copyright system in a more balanced way.
Wait and see.
