Simon - "Let it happen - and see what the backlash is when the first innocent person gets kicked off and sues the ISP for damages"
the reaction will be a few column inches in the paper, a few people spraying their tea over their cornflakes when they read the article followed by a shrug of the shoulders and maybe a tut or two and precisely nothing will happen to change the legislation
no one will write to their MP for example, no one will attend a demonstration, no one will actually do anything because we have the attitude of "well it's not that big a deal is it" or "well it's not me thats being scr*wed over so why should I care" or "well mp's never listen so why should I try"
well if no one writes to their MP nothing will happen, if we all sit back and "tut tut" nothing will happen, if we don't start telling our MP's exactly what we want and when we want it they will continue listening to those with the loudest voice - in this case the entertainment industry and nothing we want will happen
they are our MP's, they work for us, remind them of this or they will forget
