“I’d like to change the design of the Internet by introducing regulation—Internet passports, Internet police, and international agreement—about following Internet standards.” -- Eugene Kaspersky, Kaspersky Lab CEO

Great Britain's Lord Mandelson is pushing ahead with plans to impose three strikes in summer 2011 (Digital Economy Bill), if the government-set target of a 70% reduction in piracy is not met by April 2011 [9], despite expert advice to the contrary in the Gower's report and Lord Carter's Digital Britain report.

Don't worry about it. The Labour Party won't be in power in 2011 so it will be repealed once companies get in good with the new Conservative government again. It's all about the money.

We are all going to become Australia eventually. Where we will have censored internet and a cup is considered pedophilia.

when we're all governed by an international standard (see: world governance) what your own country wants to do (see: voting, democracy, republic, sovereignty etc.) won't matter

tl;dr

Hey chill out guys we will soon be discussing our world government and one political party. I VOTE PUTIN!

I relise this is mainly a USA debate on the topic but my input based on the UK idea is that HOPEFULLY it won't be enforced since Labour fucking ultra fail and shouldn't be voted back in.

Should pigs fly and they do then assuming they would keep on par they would be behind the current technological trend of preventing any sort of pirating until it will get to the point of people personal rights being affected (typical labour) and massive complaints and no physical application of the system.

At the end of the day the major industries blame the aweful pirates for "destroying" the industry. Really they should blame themselves for trying to fucking sell a product in a god dam retarded way. They need to accept that system of distrubution and of obtaining money is changing and change with it. I relise this is a typical response from any sort of pirate but seriously...their current financial structure is god dam retarded.

I saw a conference on piracy a few nights ago. It was really a fucking joke. Nobody really knew exactly what they were talking about and the question was not "How will we help the record industry cope with piracy" but "How effectively can we punish pirates?"

These people don't want solutions, they want blood.

Conservatives won't do much better.

No doubt. Sadly that is way our government works.

Labour and Conservative are almost a definate for power now and despite whatever bullshit they try spin about aimed and different Classes(such as apparently tory = higher and labour = working) they all focus on the same (middle england) to try get power.

Now its simply a case of who is worse. Currently its labour. Its almost like a Rat (labour) vs a Hamster (Tory). They both eat complete shit and pretty useless. A hamster is just cuter and prefered.

no you can thank government-loving british serfs and the bankers that keep them.

>Labour adopts Tory economics
>Economy Collapses
>Vote Tory
