franticindustries discusses extreme measures to deal with piracy

They Don’t Even Do This When You Kill People

If you download something that might turn out to be pirated in France, you will lose the right to use the internet.

What about users who don’t know they’re downloading pirated material? What about hackers breaking into WLANs and pirating stuff just to get accounts terminated? Huge companies like Google and Universal can’t agree on what is pirated, how to stop it, how to monitor it, but sure, the little guy has to know all this or else his internet pipe gets cut off...

If you haven't yet visited franticindustries.com, you're missing a lot!
