Debate on French 'Three-Strikes' Bill Delayed

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on July 24, 2009 - 8:18am.
Paris - France has delayed until at least September debate on a reintroduced bill that would potentially sever the Internet connections of repeat file-swappers, Billboard reported. The first version of the law was stripped of its teeth by France's Constitutional Council, which ruled that disconnections required a court order, rather than a simple finding by a new state copyright agency, HADOPI. The reintroduced bill will not be examined before the French Parliament's summer break in part due to a large number of amendments submitted by the Socialist party, which also derailed the first vote on the original bill.
