The petition forming the basis of this article is one of two.
Here is the other more substantive and larger e-petition

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/dontdisconnectus/

Feel free to sign it if you want to ensure the government are reminded just who pays their wages.

“We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to abolish the proposed law that will see alleged illegal filesharers disconnected from their broadband connections, without a fair trial.

Submitted by Andrew Heaney of TalkTalk – Deadline to sign up by: 20 October 2010 – Signatures: 33,332
