Minister of Culture Frederic Mitterand "condemned" Free and vowed to issue a decree clarifying the requirement, a promise he lived up to recently, stunning many who thought the process would take at least several weeks and require formal tweaking of the "Creation and Internet Law."

It didn't help matters any that French President Nicolas Sarkozy wanted to make an example of a "rebellious" ISP.

With Pres Sarkozy gunning for your defeat its now wonder they chose to toe the "three-strikes" line, especially after he's repeatedly vowed to do everything in his power to "protect" copyright holders, even calling increased Internet regulation a "moral imperative" necessary to "correct the excesses and abuses that arise from the total absence of rules."

Now France even surrenders to itself. The only good thing is that with those actions, Sarkozy won't get a second term.
