The study of 2,000 internet users in Brittany found 5% had completely stopped illegal downloading since Hadopi 2 became law.
Although the Hadopi law was passed last autumn, the body is not yet fully up and running and the first warning letters to persistent illegal downloaders have yet to be sent out.
I'd wait about 6 more months before declaring the 3 strikes law a failure. It is still too soon to call since the penalties haven't kicked in yet and haven't been publicized. |

Tacoma, WA | It is a failure regardless how much time goes by. All it does is encourage people to buy encrypted VPN access that's easily available for a very reasonable monthly price. Pretty soon, piracy will be declared non existent in France since all french pirates will have Swiss IP's. |

I would also call a 3% rise insignificant and possibly not even outside of the margin of error. 3% could even be attributable to natural ebb and flow of traffic.
I can't read french so I can't go read the pdf to see how they got their data, but how likely is it that pirates would self report in a country with a three strikes law? Not very, I think.

You still hang on that myth that little Swiss is neutral?These are not the the 1940s anymore.
Swiss company Rapidshare released personal data behind IPs on uploaders residing in Germany.
German law enforcement asked Swiss Rapidshare due to the fact that they had a office in DE and Rapidshare obliged.
