France goes too far.

I am 100% against Internet Piracy, and stealing movies & music, etc. from companies that are getting ripped off. I believe there should be a three strike law :

First offense - 1,000 dollar fine.
Second offense - 10,000 dollar fine, or 15 days in local jail.
Third offense - 10 months in prison, felony offense.

Internet piracy is the same as theft from a store, only worse.

However, France has just passed a law giving the government complete control to shut down someone's internet connection if they are suspected or have committed internet piracy. That goes way to far in government control, I also oppose giving the President complete control to shut down the American internet if the President sees a crisis or cyber-warfare, as being proposed in the Senate :

I oppose that, because shutting the complete internet has nothing to do with cyber warfare with China.
I oppose that, because this gives any President control to shut down the Internet at his whim.
I oppose that, because it no longer keeps a customer - internet company market, but government control in another economic market.

Remember When Obama Attacked McCain for not Using the Internet?

Hopefully you do. If not, here it is:



One, hopefully you know that McCain does know how to use the internet. Second, it is incredibly painful for him to use a computer because the Vietnamese broke his hands on several occasions.

All right, now look at this article by The New York Times. So Barack Obama will probably not use his blackberry, nor the internet... So all that complaining, all that whining, all that "he's out of touch" stuff was, well, moot. I find it quite ironic that Sen. Obama will probably use the internet as much as John McCain when he's President.
