"Hadopi, the body charged with hunting down freetards under France’s three-strikes law, has sent a million warning e-mails and 99,000 registered letters."

Did The Register really just say "freetards?"

The Register uses terms like that all the time. It is part of it's charm, but it does appear quite childish to people who don't read it regularly. Especially people who aren't British.
The jargon seems to have gotten denser over time. I left off reading it a few year back, and now some of it is just incomprehensible.
Not a regular reader, then?
