You can be damn sure there had better be some sort of impartial due process involved before you're taking my internet access away for a year.

Sorry, but I'm not willing to rely on a database run by the MPAA and RIAA and a table of dynamic IP addresses that rotate every time the wind blows.

And for the record, I do NOT download movies or music unless I pay for them from a legitimate source. I believe piracy is theft, and thieves should be punished.

But the word of some corporations simply isn't enough. There must be an outside review by some sort of impartial arbiter before someone loses their internet access for a whole year.

Shit, I fear this crap is coming here next...

In many cases of French law, you're already guilty and have to prove your innocence. So you're already screwed by the sounds of it, the funny thing is they're probably going to track by IP address; I wonder how long before fax machines and printers are guilty of copyright infringement.
