Government lays out digital plans

The government has laid out its plans to deal with illegal file-sharers as part of its Digital Economy Bill, outlined in the Queen's Speech.
It includes the power to disconnect persistent pirates. But its controversial broadband tax is not mentioned and will be launched as part of the Finance Bill, due next year.

Thankfully, it's highly unlikely to be enacted in the time remaining to Parliament. Phew!

Seems to me like they see something everyone likes, and they just have to put a stop to it.
