Digital Economy bill to go to high court

[Imgormiel]

TalkTalk and BT launch challenge to Digital Economy Act | Technology | guardian.co.uk

I can see this going all the way to the Supreme Court, which does not have a good rep with cases when it comes to corporate acts etc...

Good, it was forced through with little or no discussion and is a complete joke

A combination of this and the great repeal website having the bill as the number 1 target, should show mp's that the people want it gone. They'll have to realise that what the music and film industry say is not gospel just because they throw money after their arguments.

Although isn't Nick Clegg saying that the Bill is legal and necessary?

Nick Clegg will say anything David Cameron wants to hear if it keeps him in the Cabinet

Aye, I hear Eton got its annual supply of condoms cut since those two got together. Ooer *cough cough* mister's.

So what's this bill about then?

I'm imagining it's not about pudding pops or groundhogs?

Nope, a representative of the coalition government said this. It does not say who in the articles I have read. The BBc one is badly worded and mentions Nick Clegg before the quote, so people assume he did.

Clegg actually spoke out against rushing the bill through at the time.

Yeah I recall Cleeg saying it was shocking this thing was rushed through without proper discussion, lets just hope enough people sign up and vote on it.

Lib dems were the only party that opposed it at the time afaik
