After finding out how much the program actually costs, France’s new Culture Minister Aurélie Filippetti says that funding for its three strikes anti-piracy program will "be greatly reduced." The country currently spends about $15M a year on the program and employs 60 officers.

A statement by French Culture Minister Aurelie Filipetti spells bad and possibly fatal news for the country’s “three strikes” anti-piracy scheme. The Minister said that not only is the cost of running Hadopi too great to justify, but the agency has failed to deliver when it comes to developing the availability of legal content. As the final insult, Filipetti said that Internet disconnections are a disproportionate way to deal with infringement.
 
Seems like the music/movie industry should be paying the bills on this one since they are the only one to benefit. No reason for a government to pay the bill for what is basically a civil matter.
