<		PLEASE COMMENT

I just very quickly wrote a very first draft of this paper. As I did not want to write a boring overview of this interesting story, I am now presenting just a quick overview of the subject, in the hope that your comments will point me toward the aspect of this issue that you find most interesting and wish to read more about. I then intend to develop this question some more.

The French “HADOPI” law, or the latest “Don Quixote” attempt to regulate the internet

Line: 68 to 66
 An arms race between infringers and government is likely to erode internet users privacy further and hinder the legitimate uses of P2P? platforms, including their free-speech enhancing uses.

Thank you Andrei, EU's resistance was present even at earlier stages, as I mentionned about Amendment 138 of the Telecoms package. But EU law can only supersede this french law if challenged directly, and this will probably take so long that we probably won't see it happen.

I don't think I put too much faith in the average infringer's ability to obfuscate IP-Adress based identification. I mean, thor-like services are not even needed anymore with modern p2p clients, were the IP adresses are not linkable to files anymore. I mean, some blog posts and spam emails should inform most users rather quickly, don't you think? I mean, once the first few cases will be found in the medias, the reaction should happen rather fast. And maybe, this path into more privacy will even have the positive effect on having people react and be more aware of the importance of the three aspects of privacy...
