France's famous “loi Hadopi” which introduces a ‘three strikes’ approach to persistent illegal fileswappers and which would allow authorities to disconnect repeat infringers, has passed through the lower house of parliament in a revised form. The law, supported by President Sarkozy, must still be approved by the French parliament and may still face another challenge in the constitutional court.
A previous version of the law, approved by parliament in June, was rejected by France's constitutional court who said that any disconnections could only be ordered by a court.
Under the new version of Hadopi, a new authority will investigate suspected cases of piracy and will have the power to issue two written warnings before a court can order an Internet connection to be disconnected and a fine of up to 30,000 euros.
