I didn't read this as an exercise as avoiding accountability for copyright infringement, I read it as a thought exercise that picks apart the Digital Economy Bill for the joke that it is.
I would like to fill the House of Commons with all those who voted for the bill and have someone read out said thought exercise to see how many of them remotely understand it.
- Quarrelsome 16y agoDo you read the Hansard? Read the comments by Lord Whitty as per the digital economy bill. Ministers/Lords are making the points we want discussed, however in a lot of cases they are ignored due to the power of the whip.
- flipbrad 16y agoThe minister that promoted the bill typo'd that IP in IP address referred to 'intellectual property' Freudian, or just cretinous? let's hope the Lib Dems get their way and repeal the bloody thing. http://www.boingboing.net/2010/04/08/minister-for-digital.html http://www.boingboing.net/2010/04/08/minister-for-digital.ht...
