The Digital Economy Bill: Bananas!


Over at Confused of Calcutta, JP Rangaswami has written a crystal clear article on why we should be concerned about the content and treatment of the Digital Economy Bill.

Wherever you live, whatever your interests I urge you to read it.

If you live in the UK, whatever your position I urge you to write to your MP and tell them you want this bill properly debated.
