France set to cut Web access for music, film pirates

Internet users in France who frequently download music or films illegally risk losing Web Internet access under a new anti-piracy system unveiled on Friday, backed by French president Nicolas Sarkozy. [via Reuters]

"... Under the agreement - drawn up by a commission headed by the chief executive of FNAC, one of France's biggest music and film retailers - service providers will issue warning messages to customers downloading files illegally.

If users ignore those messages, their accounts could be suspended or closed altogether."
