French anti-piracy law proposal raises serious concerns on privacy.

From Cory Doctorow in Boing-Boing about France's new copyright law proposal requiring ISPs to police their clients:

For the first time in either Europe or North America, Big Content will be able to offload the tiresome and expensive work of copyright enforcement to ISPs and the commission called for by the law. (...) As a result, the procedure by which French people lose their right to communicate online will be automatic, faceless and instantaneous. The process by which they protest their innocence and get the right to communicate back will be slow, bureaucratic, and manual.

Are we preparing a breach in the independence of justice? How about asking for the banks to monitor the use of funds by their clients and close their accounts whenever the use of funds is deemed unlawful, like bribery for example?
