No idea how it will effect non-French copyrighted material (such as anime or even foriegn music).
The anti-piracy body will be the one to find the "pirate" and send to them the different mail (through your ISP) and the ISP will do everything they can to help the anti-piracy body,

If the anti-piracy body, want to put a filter on a protocol (Bittorent for example) or to completely cut off a website then the ISP will have to obey has fast as possible (a judge will have to give an authorization for that).

You will be warned twice by e-mail, once by mail and after that you will be banned (some time before that your internet will be cut for a short period of time) and your name will be put on a black list.

The ISP will have to experiment all the type of filter that exist for P2P application (protocol, port...) , website or file before the end of 2009.

Kewego, Google and Dailymotion have refused to signed the deal, and all the French consumer group are against.

The only good thing in this deal is that the DRM on French music (and only French) should disappear next year.

One more thing if this deal show some sign of being able to stop piracy (I don't think that will happen :d ) then it's possible that other European country adopt the same thing.

Now we are waiting to see what the law (who is probably already written) will look like and when it will be proposed to the parliament.
