Bonzer work from those awfully nice chaps (and ladies) at Open Rights Group. What ho!
I could write novels about the whole 3 strikes farrago and Mandy’s Pirate Finder General nonsense…I’m not ignoring it, in fact I got a letter from Stephen Timms in response to the letter I wrote to Glenda. It was a form letter of depressing ignorance, government blather, propaganda and badly signed and did not cover ANY of the points I raised such as improving licensing and actual ways to improve the digital economy rather than kill it. At least Glenda who although she didn’t agree with me about filesharing still passed on my letter and did her duty as a MP.
Still I do think you should write to your MP about this – with the closure of ThePirateBay and Mininova the clouds are gathering.
If you want to help defeat these evil foes who think that torrenting is evil, create Digital Economy Bills that actually don’t guarantee anything for the improvement of the digital economy (funny that, not even making mashups legal!) but protect the status quo of Mandy’s friends such as Geffen, and that filesharing is equal to running over and biffing an old lady over the head and stealing her purse, then these links are for you:
- Open Rights Group – I am a founding member
- Pirate Party – again, I am a member – hope to get more involved as with ORG also soon.
- Don’t Disconnect Us – twitter feed is very informative too.
- 38 Degrees – again as with spotting the expenses farrago MONTHS before it hit, they were there way back meeting Mandelson and campaigning to stop it and will be monitoring how the new law is (ab)used. Respect.
