Digital Bill Update

[Pyroka]

You know, honestly you guys are acting like a bunch of kids. This isn't bad because no more piracy, it's bad because they can block websites at will, as long as they have illegal content.

Bye bye Youtube, Veoh, Megaupload/video, google being censored. The list goes on.

The death of the internet and you guys are making jokes.

I know Niall, its bad. The only thing which may stop this being every single website is the fact every site they want to ban has to be debated vigerously, as stated in the updated version of the bill. It's still worrying that they have the power to do it though, I mean how long before we become like China?

Piratpartiet ENGAGE!

we need a party to oppose this law, this is far by the most outrageous law ever if the mps dont know what an ip is then we are doomed and all have to move to finland!

[Niall!]

I know it's not just about "illegal" downloading. I have been reading about this for a while now.

I wasn't referring to you, you seem to be taking this seriously.

Pyroka, I agree completely. The only problem is, debates are often corrupt nowadays. Hell, this bill was passed because of a deal between the two major parties. China, here we come.

@The poster above, the pirate party is the one you're looking for.

Pirate Party is a joke. If anything, Pirate Party is a party with ideas which hopefully will be stolen by bigger parties. They're just there to field the idea, they're not a serious party in my opinion.

Yet again, agreed. They're to small to make a difference.

We're going to end up with a hung parliament IMO, so expect Mr.Brown to still be in charge come May 7th.

So they can block sites with offensive content?

Oh I bet regular porn watchers will be annoyed.

But this could have huge rebounds. OMG WHATHAPPENS IF THEY BLOCK HABBO? ONOES THEY BLOCKED HABBO COS SOMEONE SAID ****!

^ Write to your MP asking if they can do something about it.

The internet is the future.

Trust me, it'll only get bigger in time. Doing this is just halting evolution.

Got this back from my MP:

Dear Chris Blake
Thanks for this which for some reason only arrived today.
The Bill was rushed through, disgracefully, right at the end of the session. I voted against the Bill on Third Reading because I think this is exactly the wrong way to legislate.
The Bill is now an Act; a future Conservative Government will have to decide how to deal with it.
Kind regards
Michael Fallon MP
