MPs Anger Over Digital Piracy Laws Before The election
Ministers have been accused of a "stitch-up" to pass laws cracking down on digital piracy before the election.
MPs from all parties have voiced anger at attempts to rush through a bill designed to support artists' copyright and tackle illegal file-sharing. The government wants the Digital Economy Bill to become law before Parliament is dissolved on 12 April. But former minister Tom Watson said it would be a "catastrophic disaster" if the bill went through as constituted. The legislation is one of more than 10 bills being considered by parliamentarians in the "wash-up period" - the remaining time before the legislature is dissolved. 'Repercussions' Under the terms of the bill, internet service providers will be obliged to send letters to any of their subscribers linked to alleged infringements. Copyright holders will be able to apply for a court order to gain access to the names and addresses of serious infringers and take action against them while ISPs would be able to suspend accounts of offenders.
