Ah, a new state agency! So much for small government....
And are they supposed to monitor every Frenchie's internet use, 24/7, just to please the content-providers?
And what if your neighbor piggy-backed on your wireless? And what if your 11 year old's friends were over and did it? And what if, and what if....
Just idiotic!

It's an unworkable scheme, everything about it from the ground up screams 'over-reaction'. But you can bet that the ones who get 'hit' with this (if it ever passes) will be heavy-filesharers. They'll be identified by their IP's through amount of traffic used, then monitored for anything that seems remotely 'illegal', and then they'll get the banhammer whether they are guilty or not.
Hopefully this won't pass, and then Sarkozy can go and crawl away back to the pits of Hell from whence he came
