Re: Web giants unite against Digital Britain copyright plan
Lets be honest we have seen in the last twelve years a lot of legislation bought in by this government that on the face of it looked harmless enough and have subsequently seen how it was so easy to manipulate and be used in a completely different context. Credibility is where this government has now completely failed no one believes a word they say and no one takes anyting at face value.
As for piracy whether we like it or not the genie is out of the bottle and cannot be put back in and rather then trying to stamp it out companys and governments are going to have to accomadate it and look more to minimalising it. What doesn't help anti piracy people are the two big lies. They of course being "piracy is killing our business" and yet year on year same companys increase profits and the second one "every download is a sale lost" which for anyone with half a brain has been obvious tripe.
Programs and systems such as phorm are not the way to go and only end up hitting everyone not just those with a reason to be hit.
