Jupiter_Moonchild Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 yup, it is a sticky situation indeed! What are they gonna do, arrest the whole population of England? I'd like to see them fucking try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy. Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 What are they gonna do, arrest the whole population of England? I'd like to see them fucking try! You and I must fight for our rights, You and I must fight to survive! haha:p I don't think they could arrest a 50th of that to be honest. Only the people with no computers would be safe!

Jupiter_Moonchild Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I don't think they could arrest a 50th of that to be honest. Only the people with no computers would be safe! Selected old people who couldn't be arsed and anyone too short to reach the modem! I know new laws take a long time to go through but this last one sounds fucking stupid. What if you send a photo that you took YOURSELF to a friend? Does that mean I just broke the law? Bloody stupid. This is what happens when you get people in offices that don't understand the infrastructure of the internet, making up rules and regs for us 'little people' without giving it more than a lunchtime's worth of thought! Maybe it's their way of getting everyone away from the internet. They want it for themselves so they can download more squirrel porn! Fuckers! Can you imagine it though? The net will become a black market substance. Man in trench coat, with gruff voice: "Alright love, wanna bit of bandwidth, I got plenty in the shed!" Hooking up will have a whole new meaning.

CarrieB Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Who is proposing this law and who are they doing it for, is my question? It doesn't sound that likely in the UK tbh, especially now we have the Lib Dems calling, at least, some of the shots. The Tories however haven't a great history on civil liberties. Just editing to say it looks like it was pushed through before the election. Is this about it? http://http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/apr/08/digital-economy-bill-passes-third-reading It looks like sites will be blocked rather than people being arested. Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jessychickin Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I'm surprised this thread hasn't had a massive heart attack that Matt actually posted something & I'd like to say I understood what he meant but unfortunately I'm not that intelligent  Edit: I get it now I get stupid at 3:03am & shouldn't read long intelligent forums that Matt Bellamy puts up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olli Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I'm just referring to the first entry (yeah, Matt's post ). I don't think, that the ISP will pay the costs for such an "artist tax" , the one who pays will be the user. 1. Prices for internet acesses will become much more expensive 2. How to define WHO has to pay the tax? Everyone, or just the private users? Big companies use VERY much bandwith (probably the most) but are possibly not downloading creative content all the time. and that leads to 3. Not every user can be forced to pay his connection according to bandwith. Because not every user downloads creative contents in masses over his connection. Many users have to up- and download huge amounts for their job, more and more people work just on the internet! So it you'd have to log what one does with his bandwith. And that's probably the end of more or less anonymus surfing and downloading.... This idea is nothin' new and discussed since years. In Germany this will luckily not come through! To that I prefer ad-supported, free downloading sites (or clients), which (from which I've heard) are already tested in China, because record industry earns nearly nothin there cause everybody downloads illegal. The money from the ads goes of course DIRECTLY to the artist(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
