The homo ludens, the internet's industry & the European Parliament

(lifted from the French colleague Sans Urgence)

Any lawyer will tell you: Access to justice is a question of money.
Any lobbyist will tell you: Success to the legislator is a question of money.
For the time-being, industry scores and the rapporteur Marielle Gallo (who is also the wife of Nicolas Sarkozy's counsellor Max Gallo, who was dropped on the candidates' list of European election in 2009 for no apparent reasons of political merits and then elected to the European Parliament on this basis) proposed that the European Assembly paves the way for tougher anti-piracy rules, i.e. for more lucrative uses of internet.
The Homo Ludens has per se no future in market economy's rules, that is clear enough.
The question rather is: for how long can internet's users escape to its rules?
The European Parliament tries to bring a concrete answer: a possible objective could be to authorize in the internal market to cut off an internet user's connection if he is caught making an illegal download three times, reports Euractiv.
