Digital Economy Act 2010

[Xenn]

If you're not aware of this, click here to find out more about it.

I know this act is old (2010), but there has been events related to this just recently.

After the ISP's Talk Talk and BT failed to win a copyright battle, the government is able to start sending letters to customers, warning them about pirating they've done.

Am I worried about that part? No, surviellance and censorship is also part of this act. Which could possibly mean this site will be affected due to "infringing copyright". THAT'S what my concern is.

So any UK users here could lose GTPlanet if this site is censored. It's like SOPA...only for the UK.

And thanks to surviellance, privacy has gone completely down the drain. If further developments happen with this act, we could see far more worse things happening.

Your thoughts?

Yet another 'cyber-lawyery' law?

A load of bollocks if you ask me. I may not be a UK resident, but I know that it was shoved through in the dying days of Gordon Brown's government. Someone should put a Scumbag Steve hat on his head.

So you are presumed to be guilty until you can prove your innocence (if you can afford the £20)!!!

There was me thinking that presumption of innocence was the central bedrock of law.
