“Three strikes and you’re out” law overturned by the French Constitutional Council
The French Constitutional Council ruled on 10 June 2009 that the Création and Internet Law (known more colloquially known as the “loi Hadopi” or the “three strikes and you’re out” law) was unconstitutional. Interestingly, the Council characterised free access to the internet as a human right, that could not be taken away by an administrative authority.
