'Three strikes' plan is struck down
The European Parliament has once again voted against the proposed "three
strikes" plan on unauthorized files sharers that would ban three time
offenders from the Internet.
Earlier this year MEPs backed an amendment to the Bono Report on the Cultural
Industries in which EU members were asked to "avoid adopting measures
conflicting with civil liberties and human rights... such as the interruption
of internet access".
This time, the vote was a landslide however, 573-74 in favor of the amendment
and the killing of the "three strikes" plan.
"You don't play with individual freedoms like that," added Guy Bono, the MEP
who originally proposed the amendment. Bono believes France should revoke
their current "three strikes" plan.
Earlier this week the BPI said that there was "no way" that UK ISPs would cut
off file sharers from the Internet.
