Is The UK Turning The Policing Of File-Sharing Over To The Copyright Cartel?
,----[ Quote ]
| The UK released its "Digital Britain" report a couple of months ago, and it
| was derided not just because it was very vague, but also because it caved to
| the interests of the recording industry. The extent to which that's the case
| is slightly staggering. The British government has now released some details
| on part of the plan that would create a "Digital Rights Agency" -- a
| government-backed industry body to tackle file-sharing.

No ID Card Function Creep? Pull the Other One
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, tell me again why we should trust the UK government over ID cards? At
| least it seems a few other people are beginning to have their doubts:
|
| The government should limit the data it collects on citizens for its ID
| card scheme to avoid creating a surveillance society, a group of MPs has
| warned.

ID Cards: Scandalous as Well as Idiotic
,----[ Quote ]
| In other words, the UK government is trying to use a kind of financial
| blackmail to keep its idiotic projects going: continue or cough up. And to
| add insult to injury, it cloaks its activities in secrecy. What a morally
| corrupt bunch.
