If you read my blog you probably already know all about the Digital Economy Bill and why it's a bad idea. (If you don't, here's why.)
The government is trying to rush the bill into law before April 6th, which is the last date it'll be able to pass new legislation before the General Election. This means the bill won't be subjected to proper scrutiny, and the special interests in the copyright protection racket sorry "entertainment industry" are very keen to see this happen so they can have their law without MPs getting chance to debate the many ways they plan to abuse it.
If you agree that the bill should be debated I urge you to write to your MP today to stop it passing into law without debate. You can do so in a couple of minutes via the 38 degrees blog; there's a good template letter, and all you really have to do is enter your postcode, some personal details and press send. Thanks.
Done.
