French Internet piracy bill passed by National Assembly
The National Assembly of France have passed a bill, which means that people caught downloading Internet content illegally three times could face disconnection.

Although the Creation and Internet bill had the support of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, it had been previously rejected last month.

Internet billIt is setting up a tough stance when it comes to tackling Internet piracy, and the governments of other countries will be following its progress.

The bill came as a response to demands by the international music industry that claimed it was losing a lot of money because of piracy and it was passed by a vote of 296 to 233 by the lower house.

The new bill goes before the Senate for its very final approval this Wednesday.

Under its rules, offenders would first get a warning e-mail, then an official letter, and finally if if they were caught making illegal downloads or file-sharing for a third time, then they would face disconnection.
