Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):France had an anti-piracy system called HADOPI to stop people from illegally downloading movies and music, but on April 30, 2026, France’s highest court ruled that the main part of this system is illegal. It broke European rules on privacy and human rights. The system sent warnings to internet users suspected of sharing files, and the court said it did not protect people’s private information well enough. The new agency, called Arcom, can still block big pirate websites, but the warnings and fines for ordinary people are mostly finished. This is a big win for groups that defend digital rights after 17 years of work.
