It’s time to kill all French politians. Collect money from the Internet and buy thousands of hitmans from the former Soviet Republics. Drag them out from their fancy office and terminate them. I’ll do it for free, I hate them all. The French people should go out on the street and terminate every government institution. Destroy a entire city like Paris.

A precedent has been set.

It’s only a matter of time before vested interests in other countries (particularly the wealthy ones) push for similar laws.

And so the battle between technology and money escalates.

How can they force you to pay for a service, that they are denying you the use of. That seems a bit absurd.
I just cant see how they are going to police this . With all the open wifi and internet cafes. I think it will just lead to more crime. People will start breaking into other peoples isp accounts. It’s gonna be messy.

Once everyone is disconnected from the internet, the only thing left to do is march out on the streets and protest the new laws. That, in turn, would drive away investors in other industries once they see the instability. That will bring the already weak economy of France further down to its knees. Then, after the GDP fall further, faster, voters will vote them out for creating chaos on the streets and ruining the French economy. After that, a new party will be voted in and the three strikes law would be retroactively repealed.

Well… one hopes something like this will happen if it passes the senate. :\
