Is there some way to tie the database to the sex offender database? I mean, an illegal downloader could very well be downloading porn - and maybe even political literature! I see.

There are so many negatives in this sentence, my head is now on backwards! Is this good or bad?

The European Parliament, not the French Parliament, has gone against Sarkozy. What's more, the European Parliament is a weak body whose decisions aren't binding in most cases.

Perhaps you could rephrase it, with some consideration for those without native or high-level English language skills?

But a report was recently given to president Sarkozy (of France. But he will also be president of the European Union from July to December) recommending the following actions against "illegal download": - On the first time the "pirate" is caught, his access provider sends him a warning e-mail. - On the second time, he gets a formal letter. - The third time his internet access is suspended for six month and he is blacklisted to all internet providers in the country. On top of that your personal data is listed in a few obscure databases to make sure everybody knows you're a dangerous criminal. Well, I'm not sure about the details but that's the spirit. The bill was supposed to be voted by the French parliament soon, I don't know whether the decision by the European parliament will have any influence on that.
