The unnamed web user, convicted under France’s “three strikes” rule in which warnings are sent by email and registered post, was also fined 600 euros.Īnd while the offender is cut off from the “public” web, his Internet Service Provider (ISP) is obliged to make sure access to essential online services, including private messaging such as email, remain accessible.Īccording to PCInpact, it is unclear whether ISPs are even technically able to impose such restrictions on their customers.
The sentence, passed at the end of May, was revealed by website PCInpact this week and confirmed Friday by the government department responsible for administering the 2010 law, better known by its French acronym Hadopi. In addition to this new non-stop broadcasting service, France 24 also occasionally broadcasts live events that bring together a community of Internet users at a given moment and then offers a replay of the entire programme once the live broadcast is over (70th anniversary of the Normandy landing, live speeches at the UN General Assembly, press conferences, etc.).įrance 24 has been on YouTube ever since its launch in December 2006 (reports, debates, magazine replays), and has already notched up over 300 million video views and currently attracts around 6 million views a month.īroadcasting France 24 on YouTube is part of France Médias Monde’s global strategy for a multi-platform, multilingual syndication of its channels, increasing accessibility to their content by building new bridges between their digital services.For the first time in France, a court has banned an Internet user from going online – for 15 days – for illegally downloading copyrighted material. With this new service all YouTube users can also comment and discuss in real time the channel’s programmes by using the chat module to the right of the screen. This agreement allows France 24 to further facilitate accessibility to its three channels and allows all Internet users to watch them in high definition (720p - 16/9) on any type of device (PC, mobile phones, tablets).
