Strike two

What do New Zealand, South Korea and France have in common?

They all tried to enact 3 strikes legislation that could cut off your internet after 3 unproven allegations of copyright infringement. New Zealand's attempt to pass such a law is dead. Now, apparently, so is France's. Best line of text read regarding the defeat (so far):

"Individual liberties, in the end, have not been sacrificed to try to preserve the corporate interests of some obsolete industries."
