France’s Senate has passed a three strikes law would cut off Internet access for people who continue to download unlicensed music.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

France is on a collision course with the EU after the French Senate overwhelmingly voted for an Internet piracy law that directly contradicts European Parliament legislation.

The Senate’s “three strikes” or “graduated response” law would cut off access to the Internet to Web surfers who repeatedly download copyrighted films, music or video games without paying.

But the French legislation clashes with an amendment agreed to by Euro-MPs in September that outlaws Internet cutoff.
