"French president wants to cut off file sharers' Internet"
DOWNLOAD: Cut Off Your Hands - You and I (MP3)
"French president Nicolas Sarkozy is endorsing a plan that would ban the provision of Internet access to file sharers caught pirating three times. The plan would use information from ISPs on "high-volume users" to find file sharers. Serial offenders would see their accounts suspended or terminated after their third strike. Music and film industries, naturally, are in favor of the plan." [Valleywag]

US cable companies would go out of business if they tried that here. They wouldn't have many subscribers. Advertisers would not be very happy either.
