MP demands government rethink on Digital Economy Act

EDM

Woo, an early day motion with nine signatures.

This is pointless non news, early day motions rarely go anywhere.

Wake me up when it's been agreed to have the debate, which will not happen any time soon.

CPS: We won't prosecute over BT/Phorm secret trials

"added that the "behaviour in question" was "unlikely to be repeated".

unlikely????

Surely they should be apologising at least and telling plod that it will NEVER happen again.

Prosecutors prep decision on BT-Phorm case

Full of Fail

Someone in the home office must have been aware of the EU directives on this, and knew that the UK gov hadn't implemented them. So the government advised BT and Phorm that they had no intention of implementing a law that would see them prosecuted.

My prediction is that the case will be dropped. My take on "if a prosecution would be in the public interest" is whether it is worth the publics money to fight BTs expensive lawyers.

This whole affair is a big pile of FAIL.

Twitter bomb joker found guilty

The CPS

Good to see the CPS have plenty of time to bring this non-case to court, yet they can't even decide if it's in the publics interest to bring Phorm and BT to court for real crimes. How long have they been reviewing the evidence in that case? 1 and a half years? One dumb rule for the man on teh street and another for corporate entities.
