French Culture Minister to present “graduated response” bill on 11th June
Christine Albanel, the French Culture Minister (picture), has announced she will present her controversial “graduated response” bill to the French cabinet on 11th June. The bill (often referred to as the “three strikes and you’re out” bill in countries where baseball rules) would require Internet Service Providers to disconnect subscribers involved in multiple instances of illegal file-sharing. The Minister intends for the bill to be discussed and adopted by Parliament before summer recess.
