This Amendment is clearly against "graduate response" or three strikes. The Industry Commission of European Parliament has voted in favor of Bono Amendment this evening (april 21th). May, the 5th will be the big day, where the European Parliament in plenary session will vote all the Telecom Package. Now the only option for Sarkozy is to block the Directive. This is a good day for European Democracy.
