The French Government is set to shut down its police service into illegal downloads, after the new government described the service as "expensive", "disproportionate" and failing to achieve its aims.
The agency, Hadopi, was set up in 2009 by former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to run a "three-strikes" policy that would see illegal downloaders stopped from using the internet for one year after three offences.
