Tech Specs Leaked For French Spyware 212
An anonymous reader writes "With the 'three strikes' law now in effect in France, the organization tasked with implementing it, Hadopi, has been working on technology specs for making the process work — and those specs have now leaked. It appears to involve client-side monitoring and controlling software, that would try to watch what you were doing online, and even warn you before you used any P2P protocol (must make Skype phone calls fun). It's hard to believe people will accept this kind of thing being installed on their computers, so I can't wait to see how Hadopi moves forward with it. It also appears to violate EU rules on privacy."

Maybe this is just a clever, french way to kill off Windows usage in France.

Would she be "understanding" of your incest fetish?
Because that would be hot.
I'm only 23 and it's already been several years since I reached the fringe of extreme fetishes. My mother would disown me if she knew what it takes to get me off anymore.
