Lords debate how to STOP ACS LAWs "Legal Blackmail"

[RensterUK]

5:52 - "I hesitate to use the word innocent, but they haven't been acting illegally". So if they've not done anything illegal, they would be what then, if not innocent?!?

4:36 Look at the huge crowd of Lords listening to this speech... all 25 of them.

[revsorg]

It's not legal blackmail, it's just blackmail.

I used to fall asleep when I went to lessons at college, but in my defence I wasn't elected to that position, I was only letting myself down. I suppose the old sleeping fart in the background wasn't elected either, but by sleeping through such an important debate he was letting us all down.

Fight back against ACS Law!

Ive had a letter from ACSLAW, Im accused of downloading an album last year. I have never even heard of the album let alone download it. Who is the guy talking, I want to get in touch with him

Christ i could fall asleep to his voice lol

Unrelated to the content of what is being discussed in the video, but, look at the man sitting behind (I think) Lord Lucas, he is sleeping.

I have seen this sort of thing before, and it really really annoys me, its something which seems to be "ok" with people, this is not what they are paid to do! I'm talking mainly about MPs, but Lords too.

It is kind of indicative of the British Legal Sytem that old fart nodding off. He is the sort who would be first to back ACS LAW as he was asleep when it mattered. You are right it is a bloody disgrace. Need to find who he is and WRITE to him

[sonicfighter101]

he looks dead lol

@jjintheuk Lords aren't actually paid a salary, they only receive expenses. So they are different to that of MPs.

[jjintheuk]

@KamLC

"One of those is how much each member of the House of Lords now costs the taxpayer a year - nearly half a million pounds. The total bill for running the House of Lords was £305 million in 2007-08 (the Commons was £364 million).

Some peers now take home more than £47,360 a year for an unpaid job...They receive a laptop, desktop computer and Blackberry."

- The Times

Yeah but the point is, they cost us millions of pounds to this stuff! MPs are worse creatures when they do this I know.

[gozeruk]

@jjintheuk lords are not paid

[jjintheuk]

I'm watching this then writing to a couple of lords, including Lord Young!

[TheGift73]

Thank you for keeping us apprised of the current proceedings. Great to see more of the Lords standing up and beginning to shout.

I hear even the BPI have distanced themselves from ACS:Law due to their tactics.
