Gov.uk: Fickle, Pig-headed, Suicidal? â You Choose

| News that the UK government was doing a U-turn over the use of a âthree

3 Strikes: Here We Go Again
,----[ Quote ]
| Then we get onto the question of measuring illicit filesharing and defining
| what is and isn't acceptable. The original plan was for a detailed study of
| this, on the basis that policy should be based on evidence. Actually, I take
| my earlier words back - here there is a blatant handbrake turn.
|
| "Evidence â although we have no doubt Ofcom would have carried out their
| research under the original proposals in their usual thorough manner,
| measuring unlawful P2P activity across a range of networks and different
| content is extremely difficult."
|
| This is what a former colleague of mine called 'filing in the TOO DIFFICULT'
| tray.'

Cor! - UK Pirate Party's Smart Move
,----[ Quote ]
| What's interesting is how tightly focussed the Pirate Party is. I think
| that's wise: otherwise it would just become another Raving Monster Loony
| Party. By restricting its message to an area that it understands, and which
| is crying out for reform, I'm sure it will benefit in the long run. It will
| also, usefully, force the other parties to frame their own responses in this
| domain.
