The DEB is ridiculously flawed. The negative repercussions on our society and economy as a whole hugely outweigh any potential gains from combating piracy in this way. It’s an insult to democracy by being so blatantly written and pushed through by lobbyists from the BPI and other “music industry” figures. It ignored the British judiciary system by assuming guilt in the absence of proof (IP addresses cannot prove guilt in a court of law). It jeopardises our young digital economy, by eroding the chances of gaining truly wireless cities, and removes any incentive to provide free wi-fi areas.

What’s more, it is unlikely to have any effect on file-sharing, as is evident when you look at Sweden as a case study, where file-sharing has risen since their anti-piracy laws, just now it is encrypted. Instead the record companies who wrote this Act should be focusing on live music promotion as their primary revenue stream rather than protecting an old, out-dated business model.

I’m laughing my ass off as I read this and the comments. I borrowed a CD from a friend who likes the same musical genre and I just ripped it. I’ll buy it if I don’t get tired of the songs for the next month. Or rather, I would buy if MAFIAA an merry friends weren’t complete jerks.

Makes me laugh cause I really wanna see MAFIAA stopping file sharing. He said that if such laws are approved here we should join forces with a few other friends and each should buy one CD that others will just get and rip. And congratulations MAFIAA, you get 1/5 of your original revenue from our group – and I’m not even considering the groups we’d never know about if it wasn’t for file sharing.

MAFIAA: failing hard to our amusement.
