The French government tracked down 18 million file-sharers but, due to limited capacity, they were only able to send out 470,000 warnings to offenders. 18 million people? Think about that number for a minute, the entire population of France is just over 60 million.
Starting October last year French Internet users have been receiving letters as part of the three-strikes system built-in to the controversial Hadopi anti-piracy legislation. This week the agency responsible for the warnings gave out details on the scope of the operation. In the last 9 months 18 Million file-sharers were tracked, but due to limited capacity ‘only’ 470,000 warnings were sent out to first-time offenders.
