UY,

You are reading too much into the law. If that is what the Fins ment, I'll go jump off the deepest fjord.

The Finis minister in charge of this ministry said their policy is NOT to disconnect any citizen even if they were found to be in violation of illegal upload / download. Other EU nations like French may want to disconnect those in legal violation of P2P sharing of copyrighted music etc.

That means even those who are found breaking laws on-line will not be punished by disconnections from Internet. In US I am aware that judges bans convicted hackers from accessing Internet, because there is no legal rights protection. People can not be punished by depriving of Internet access if this was ban by law.

That means their law protects legal rights of their citizens to be able to get on-line.
