Pirate Party UK - what the Digital Economy Act means

[22YearOldBoy]

I care more about our freedoms and privacy than these huge companies missing out on their pocket money due to illegal file sharers. Think about it. Is it really worth sacrificing our digital privacy and freedom because greedy companies want their "change back"? If this act is put into place then all internet users will be closely monitored. That is like having to contend with a shoulder surfer at an ATM or the postman reading you mail before he posts it in your letter box. You have power! Use it

Well, you won't hear Starbucks or McUGHnald's complaining about having their "free" wifi cut-off, since it's a savings on their account. They're only implementing it as a desperate measure to snag more clients. As a strategy, you might want to leave corporations out of it, they've got whole teams lawyers (they sell you poison anyway, and they'll sue you for defaming their product by calling it poison, if they can). The important are part are men and women who can lose their personal internet.
