"A decisive moment for the future of a civilised internet"
From the BBC: French plans to throw persistent pirates off the net have got closer to becoming law.
The French Senate voted overwhelmingly in favour of the law, which aims to tackle ongoing piracy of music, movies, and games online. Those caught illegally sharing digital media will get warnings e-mailed and posted to them before having their net connection terminated.
The idea to tackle piracy with such a three strikes law was first floated in November 2007, when French President Nicolas Sarkozy called it: "a decisive moment for the future of a civilised internet".
So, while you still can — here's a download of the famous 1966 movie La Grande Vadrouille. (The comedy was released in the USA as Don't Look Now… We're Being Shot At!)

I highly doubt this'll do much good.
