She fell at the end of the lesson and struck her head, but was alert and conversational afterward and did not complain of any ill effects. An hour later, in her hotel room, she developed a severe headache. The next day, she was flown to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City in critical condition, where she died on Wednesday...

...Perhaps. But France isn't the only country considering such punitive action. In January, Irish ISP Eirecom struck a deal with record companies under which it would ban clients who were found to be illegally downloading music. The U.K. is also contemplating forcing ISPs to disconnect customers tied to online piracy as part of its push to make broadband access universal by 2012. In Brussels, meanwhile, debate rages over the future of network neutrality - the degree of free and equal access to the Internet. Governments and business interests want the ability to increasingly filter its use. (See the 50 best...
