This Tuesday, the government will rush a law that could cut you off the Internet

(The Bill passed, and is now the Digital Economy Act. This is left up here for historical value)

http://bit.ly/disconnection

The Digital Economy Bill could destroy free Wifi in the UK, cut innocent people off the Internet, and enable widespread web censorship. And it's being passed in Parliament with barely half a day's debate.

Write to your MP now and ask them to demand a debate or not vote for the Bill. If you've written to them before, write to them again.

Will we let lobbyists force laws into power? Now's the time to decide.

Wow so sad for the artist that make millions off crappy cd's with one hit song or movies that have good trailers but suck donkey ass. If I buy a song and want to share it with my friends not for money but b/c we are broke ass college students and cannot afford to keep buying crappy cd's who is the goverment to tell me what I can do with what I paid for? Dam I will be glade in a few more years when I have raped the U.S fat ass long enough I will be gone and will not care about what happens to usa

@strangecompany Have a look at the film "Steal This Film II". The war on piracy is getting brutal, but it will show you that we're winning.

Maybe our government needs to take a step back and think before they open their big ass gassy mouths. They're a complete bunch of pansies, who are they to dictate what we are allowed to do and not allowed to do on the internet? God they make me so angry. Hopefully there will be an increase in graffiti on parlimentary buildings in correlation with the decrease of filesharing. Fuck you loser parliment assholes!

[ExtremeBogom]

Fucking pirate bay blew this shit up.

Now every fucker knows!

[qaizali]
