This is the case with France, but as usual in France there is the law and then the reality. We had HADOPI, an organization announced as the Hammer of Thor for pirates. Not related but one of the elected members of our Assembly was talking about the OpenOffice Firewall. Many discussions started on how this is legal and whatnot, an ISP also sent the IPs they were required to provides hardcopied on paper. People started to create anti-HADPPI pages, after a chaotic discussion the law was changed from "you are a pirate" to "you did not secure your WiFi enough" (literally). People started to use VPNs and forgot about the organization. Then million of euros were poured into that idiotic organization (ah, we also have a tax on empty CDs and DVDs because they are used to copy pirated stuff...) and the first courts hit with the Hammer of Thor. If I remember correctly, one person was convicted to 2000€. It has now been quietly merged with another organization and I do not know if it still exists. So much money spent on idiots doing idiotic work for idiotic results. Garbage in, garbage out.
