While the British government puts huge amounts of pressure on ISPs to clamp down on file-sharers, it is doing some pirating of its very own. It seems that Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s own website is in serious breach of copyright, as it is based on a ripped-off Wordpress theme.

Maybe! "Charles, get me some of that Mika please!"First of all plagiarism is different to copyright theft. Not only that but Gordon Brown didn't make the website and Gordon Brown has nothing to do with Charles? :S

lol whey,. Anti-pirates is a way for the music producers to get richer, i dont really know why there that bothered about it, becasue they still make millions from there tracts ect.... the real loosers in the whole situation are music companys like HMV and golden disks, there sales have gone down hill rapidly over the past few years, 10 years ago there wasent such programs, and the majority of people would go into the shop and save up for the next album relese

Did they put the 'beta' in the header of the Number10 website to look cool or what? I doubt it's still in development. The people that did the website seem quite amatuer.
