"Madam President, though presented on the legitimate grounds of protecting artistic creation, the so-called ‘Hadopi’ law, which is being drafted in Paris, is in fact a freedom-destroying law.
Indeed, this text does not promote creation. It merely provides for widespread policing of the activities of Internet users. It includes no specific proposals to improve the legal supply of cultural goods. It lags pathetically behind on the technical possibilities for hiding or spoofing IP addresses. It is a step backwards in terms of the right to private copying, for which everyone in any case pays a tax on digital media. It gives to a purely administrative authority the outrageous power to prosecute and impose penalties. It re-establishes the double penalty for Internet users denied access to the web but required to continue to pay their subscription. Finally, it scorns the presumption of innocence and the right to defend oneself.
By blocking this law, which is worthy of communist China or other totalitarian regimes, a law that Mr Sarkozy wants to force through, this Parliament would be reaffirming the right of each one of us to privacy, to access to information, to freedom of expression and to proper legal procedures. This is absolutely vital."@en1
