Re: Good
said by Master_AMD  :I'm glad it didn't go through, FTW us! But the vote was pretty close though all things considering. But the vote is merely advisory. It isn't mandatory to follow it. France may or may not decide to follow it.

The report isn't legally binding, but it could help thwart efforts by France, which has already adopted such measures, to push the issue at a European political level.
France takes over the six-month rotating presidency of the European Union in the second half of this year and many observers, including the U.K.-based Open Rights Group, expect it to push for E.U.-wide rules similar to its own.
The report is significant because it "signifies resistance among MEPs to measures currently being implemented in France to disconnect suspected illicit filesharers," the Open Rights Group said in a statement.

If the ISP doesn't like a customer's usage, they can terminate that account on their own. Piracy is a civil issue, and should be left only to the 2 parties involved - the **AA, and the pirate.

Keep abusing copyright and keep getting caught, you deserve to lose your internet access. I will gladly accept this restriction if the same applies to content owners that send improper or illegal takedown notices - the third time a content owner sends an illegal/improper takedown notice, they lose the right to send anymore takedown notices.
sending improper/illegal takedown notices is copyright abuse.

Bah, if the internet providers want to sign up a customer they should have every right to do so- let the companies enforce their copyrights in the way copyrights have always been enforced since the beginning, fines and court orders. |

It is more like "Keep being accused of abusing copyright ..." since in France you are guilty until/unless you prove otherwise. |
