Enforcing laws that result in the criminalisation of a huge proportion of the population seems like bad governance if you ask me.

It's bad governance, but many governments have "previous form". About 5% of the population of the UK are regular cannabis users, with many many more being occasional users.

Woah, 5%? Do you have a citation for that?

18 million observed instances of filesharing in supposed breach of copyright, not 18 million filesharers. Of a million lucky instances chosen at random, 90% of these led to the identification of lucky lucky account holders. Of the 900,000, 470,000 first warnings were sent out. The rest might presumably be duplicates, or based abroad, because it's hard to see why the other 430,000 IDs were not part of the email-sending exercise. they might also be libraries, internet cafs, etc.

Interestingly, it seems HADOPI really took the UN's human rights criticism of HADOPI-like measures; it recently put out a press release urging caution, transparency and legal compliance by those seeking to develop deep packet inspection technology and other filters (which it must be notified of), telling the private sector to instead focus on developing legal media offerings and experimenting with pricing (http://www.hadopi.fr/download/sites/default/files/page/pdf/C...)
