French Assembly Adopts 3-Strikes Bill

Posted by timothy on from the what-does-the-academy-think-of-baseball-metaphors? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After lots of turmoil, including a surprise rejection and a European amendment against it, Sarkozy's 3 strikes law has just been passed by the French Assembly [in French]: 'The first warning mails ... should be sent in the coming fall. In case of second offenders, the first disconnections should start beginning 2010.'"

    Sorry, same thing happened here. Going to borrow 50 cents for every dollar we spend this year. Having RIAA lawyers everywhere. Having tax cheats in office.

    I think you overestimate the benefit of the internet. If anything it shows that people are even more ignorant than we believed possible. After all, if its on the internet it must be true. A place where anyone can make up a trusted sounding name and follow whatever agenda they want and claim to be purveyors of fact but simply slant based on omission of fact.
