France rules on Copyright downloads

October 25, 2009

France’s Constitutional Council has validated the so-called “three strikes” law, clearing the way for an accelerated judicial process that will cut off the access of Internet users accused three times of downloading copyright content without authorisation.

This is clearly targeted at file sharing of music and movies. However is does cover all copyright material. We will have to wait and see whether this will have any effect on the illegal use of copyright images.
