Good to see that Mandleson's new best buds in the entertainment industry aren't calling the shots with regards to the Governments plans for the Digital Economy Bill.

The British government has brought down its long-awaited Digital Economy Bill, and it's perfectly useless and terrible. It consists almost entirely of penalties for people who do things that upset the entertainment industry (including the "three-strikes" rule that allows your entire family to be cut off from the net if anyone who lives in your house is accused of copyright infringement, without proof or evidence or trial)

The worst thing is since he's in the House of Lords we can't even vote the twat out.
