Hi Guys,

Seems as its that time of the month for the inevitable number10
petition, which in fairness i think has had some success.

As we know the Digital Economy Bill going through at the moment, as
caused a lot of controversy.  Mainly due to disconnected alleged
file-sharers.
 There is no due process you'll be without your connection.  On a whole
i suppose it make a little sense however the real issue lays at what if
someone hopes on to your wireless network, downloads the latest film and
you get cut off.  With their being no due process your pretty goosed.
