London - The U.K. government plans to introduce a bill
mimicking France's
recently enacted "three-strikes" legislation on file-sharing, which
authorizes the suspension of the Internet accounts of those warned repeatedly
they are violating copyrights, according to published reports. The bill will
"make technical measures available, including account suspension," U.K.
business, innovation and skills minister Peter Mandelson said at a meeting of
government and entertainment industry heads, according to PaidContent's
coverage.
