The member states still have to implement the directives. 3 Strikes  
models are still possible, even without judicial control. Though the  
original model of the 3 strikes model in France is dead ("automatic"  
shut down of internet after 3 warnings), the member states can still,  
in the implementation of the directive, interpret certain aspects to  
the way that people all over Europe get their internet access shut  
down without the decision of a judge.

That's only one part why it's sad (to say the least) that "our"  
representative voted for the package.
