Britain is hoping to put itself at the forefront of the fight against internet piracy. The Digital Economy Bill, which will be debated in parliament later on Tuesday, will give authorities the power to block pirate websites and cut people off from the Internet for file sharing. But protesters claim the measures are too extreme and threaten the very future of the web.

  • So much for democracy!.This bill is an infringement of our human rights.

    We`ll end up like North Korea at this rate!

  • why dont we put the bill up to a true vote and ask the people of britain if they want the bill, from looking at the comments on here over 80% of people wont want the bill. the coming election will be a joke, conservative will get in, but deep down people know nothing will change, theyre just kidding themselves with their power to the people bullshit vote. i hope people in britain do revolt soon, theyll have to some day..

  • if this was in america and they asked americans alot would say "what are you talking about" or "omg im gonna be on tv"

  • USA have passed a similar law, across europe filesharers are being targetted popular websites like ninjavideo taken down, is it any wonder people think the western liberal democracy is simply a hollow democratic oligarchy

  • Interesting how the adjective draconian was used (0:37), was it a simple doctor who reference (doubt it), or more a negative oriented connotation? even though my curiosity seems to be satisfied by my intellect i would still enjoy someones opinion.

  • everyone should end there subscriptions,stop buying cds and dvds, boycott concerts and cinemas and watch the creative industry destroy itself.

  • time to stop letting our governments bend their knees to the capitalists

  • NET 2.0  = NWO
