The French government recently amended its plan to disconnect the internet connection of people illegally downloading copyrighted content, after the Constitutional Council rejected its controversial 'three strikes' proposal as being an infringement on human rights. Benjamin May and Marie Liens, of Aramis Société d'Avocats, examine the Constitutional Council's reasons for rejecting the proposals and how the new legislation - which sanctions those illegally downloading copyrighted content - avoids those reasons, as well as the potential new issues it raises.
