Yeah, for you Brits out there. Have you heard we're going to have a bill passed (with very minimal coverage) that can deny people the right to access the internet? Anyhoo, I'll post some links and the petition. (Please sign it.)

At the moment of writing this the current petition total stands at 17500 approx signatures

While the gesture is great, I don't think a petition would do much.
(Not that I am in any way related to this, as I don't like in Britain)

[Akigagak]

Nah, our government are cowards. If the petition gets enough signatures they'll probably say it was all the idea of some minor back-bencher.

[Cthulhu]

Oh Britain.  You so crazy.

Technically some ISPs in America do this already.  One of my dad's friends pirated the new Wolverine movie, his ISP noticed, and they shut down his internet.  When he called to ask why his internet was down, they redirected him to another number.  He called it up, and it was the party van, who gave him a very stern warning.  I would've wet myself.

New Labour have curtailed enough of our freedoms.
