An update is due. Last month, we were all surprised that the European Parliament took a stand and went against EU governments by adopting by a very large majority an amendment to the proposed revised EU telecoms regulations, which ensures that Internet users can only be disconnected upon receipt of a proper court order<http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/09/219&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en>, rather than an administrative order. Then last week (9 June), the French Constitutional Court (the equivalent of the Supreme Court in the US or the 'Law Lords' for the English Courts), citing the founding principles of the French Republic the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man, confirmed that a similar legal proposal in France to disconnect users suspected of downloading illegal material was not acceptable. --- Aaron Baer [email protected] http://www.slyness.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ The Personal Telco Project - http://www.personaltelco.net/ Donate to PTP: http://www.personaltelco.net/donate Archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireless.portland.general/ Etiquette: http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/MailingListEtiquette List information: http://lists.personaltelco.net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
