> Government ministers are talking to Internet Service Providers about website <br>> blocking. We are very worried: we think they are looking for a “plan B” if the <br>> Digital Economy Act is derailed by this week’s court case. According to the <br>
> Guardian and others, ministers Ed Vaizey and Jeremy Hunt are still considering <br>> web blocking as a serious option to tackle “illegal downloading” and copyright <br>> infringement. <br>> <br>> This week, Dr Richard Clayton, from our Advisory Council, attended a meeting <br>
> with Ofcom with our campaigner Peter Bradwell, to tell them that there is no <br>> evidence that web blocking would work: and plenty that it would create <br>> collatoral damage, when the wrong sites are blocked, and citizens or companies’ <br>
> legitimate activities disrupted.<br>> You can do your bit by letting your MPs know that this is not acceptable. Please <br>> email them now to tell them to oppose web blocking.<br>> Read more on the legal and technical background here<br>
