The French National Assembly will re-debate an internet piracy Bill designed to cut the internet access of people caught illegally downloading files three times on 29 April, after text adopted by the Senate was defeated by 21 votes to 15 in the National Assembly - which contains 577 seats - on 9 April. "It was a coup of filibustering mounted by the socialist group", Roger Karoutchi, Secretary of State of Relations with Parliament, told Le Monde.
