In a French government-backed charter, French ISPs have agreed to “do their part” in the fight against music pirates. The ISPs are hoping that by participating in a charter such as this, it will prevent the eventual arrival of legislation such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act such as we have here in the U.S. If a music pirate is caught by their ISP, the ISP will “send warning messages to individual customers upon request from rights holders and ‘act immediately’ on court orders to identify clients or cut them off.” Wow, sounds a lot better than the DMCA, I think.
