"Under the new law, the new authority will investigate suspected cases of piracy and will have the power to issue two written warnings before a judge can order an Internet connection to be disconnected and a fine of up to 30,000 euros ($43,900).
The law will also oblige anyone with a Wi-Fi connection to block non-authorized users from using the connection."
