Fw: [ PFIR ] UK bill introduces 10 year prison sentence for online pirates
"Every problem is an opportunity."
"There's no problems, only solutions."
Anyone in the UK? Now might be a good time to get a Pirate Party chapter
going, only with a politically correct name, or use this as grist for
your personal mill to further the state of the art of online file
sharing.
Good luck.

The UK Government's Digital Economy Bill, which is set to
revamp current copyright legislation, has been introduced in
Parliament. One of the most controversial changes is the
increased maximum sentences for online copyright infringement.
Despite public protest, the bill increased the maximum prison
term five-fold, from two to ten years.

Oscar Pistorius just received a sentence of about half that for
murdering his girlfriend.
