Hadopi Already Up To Sending Out 25,000 'First Strike' Notices Per Day
When Hadopi first started sending out "you're an infringer!" first strike notices last month, we noted that it was initially sending out 10,000 per day with plans to ramp up to 50,000. It isn't taking long. The latest reports show that it's already sending out 25,000 notices per day. That seems like an awful lot. Remember, in all the years the RIAA was suing individuals for file sharing, it only ended up suing 18,000 people total, though it threatened legal action against 30,000.

Of course, this should give you an indication of why the entertainment industry likes these sorts of three strikes things much more than actual due process and lawsuits. They can go after a lot more people, for a lot less money, and a lot less of pesky due process and silly antiquated concepts like "innocent until proven guilty."

Time for our French friends to switch to newsgroups methinks. :hrmph:
 
or install peerblock/peerguardian
 
PeerBlock is just an IP block list and most lists focus more on USA tracking firms than UK ones. Beware that it is in no way total protection and could risk giving some folk a false sense of security, although it doesn't hurt to have it installed. Safest solution is to stop using public P2P (except for legit reasons) and not download anything unlawful :) .

I find it listing a lot of European sites that it is blocking, including the BBC!!!

Unlawful?? Would I download anything unlawful???? :rolleyes:

TBH most of my torrenting is US TV shows as I hate waiting a year for them to appear on UK terrestrial TV

Chuck season 3 anyone??
 
l noticed the BBC block as well.
 
The lists blocks IP ranges just to be sure, so if one IP is used by the BBC to track unlawful content usage then the whole range it owns will also be blocked.
