UK MP Raises Digital Economy Bill Topic In Parliament

Whilst this looks rather toothless it does at least reassure some folks that they are being listened to by their local MP

The Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge, Julian Huppert, has tabled an Early Day Motion (EDM) seeking a repeal of sections 9 - 18 of the Digital Economy Act 2010. This covers the main thrust of the acts focus towards tackling online infringement of copyright (illegal p2p file sharing) by broadband ISP customers, specifically technical measures such as customer disconnection, website blocking and speed restrictions.

Perhaps if we all write to our local MP's then more signatures would be forthcoming and thus potentially more concrete action in the future.

It's not often you get a second chance like this. I hope all those that care will take the opportunity to show their support. Also make sure that you spread the news about that this is taking place. Tell everyone you know that their support is urgently needed. It's no good hoping someone else will do it all for you.
