I would be very suprised if any of the big parties even conciders to repeal that travesty. I will be reinforced if anything. Your freedoms will be lost forever if you don’t fight for them.

A quote from David Heath suggested that he had concerns about the Digital Economy Bill, but from the evidence, he didn’t vote against it in the end. As for our local Labour candidate’s viewpoint, it hardly matters as Labour have no hope in Somerton and Frome anyway.

I suspect that very few MPs have any grasp of technology, much less of radical ideas like ‘citizens can also be content creators, even without using a production company or infrastructure’ and that it is not generally believed that ‘technology politics’ really changes voting habits. In fact, it seems that it is pretty rare for it to do so – a lot of people who were fuming about the Bill just weeks ago are now cheerfully campaigning for exactly the same people who voted for it. That has to change before anybody will take these issues seriously.

No reply as yet from the ‘big’ parties.

I’ve been watching with horror as this whole affair has unfolded over the last couple of years, and I’m increasingly of the opinion that copyright law needs a serious overhaul.
