Lord Mandelson is seeking to amend the laws on copyright to give the government sweeping new powers against people accused of illegal downloading…

In a letter to Harriet Harman, the leader of the house and head of the committee responsible for determining ...

There must be some cross party support for opposing this attempt to put draconian control laws on how people utilise the internet, it seems the leaderships of both parties are clamouring to gain the support of the media moguls while everyone else is aghast at this…. IMO it’s time for a group of MPs from Labour, Conservatives and the Lib Dems to push for a net neutrality and fairness law ... See all content

Bugger.

“would allow Murdoch to be rewarded for his support for David Cameron over Gordon Brown, for example by making it illegal to use such extracts from a news site for profit.”

Bang goes my plan to cut and paste the entire New International output (having paid for a subscription of course) onto a blog and then collect the advertising revenue.

conferring powers on “any person as may be specified”
