Thumbs down Digital Economy Bill
h ttp://www .publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200910/ldbills/001/10001.i-ii.html

As a facebook group succinctly put it-

Quote:
A new Government BILL (The "Digital Economy Bill”) has been proposed by Peter Mandelson, if implemented it will provide powers to big business and other parties, that will enable them to be able to force you off the internet at the discretion of anyone who feels that you should not be using it. It’s no joke, it’s something that belongs to the era of Nazi Germany yet it could land on your door step in 2010.
Nicht gut.
