ISP TalkTalk<\/a> were among those to protest the ratification of the bill; their Director of Strategy and Regulation, Andrew Heaney said in the Guardian<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The digital economy bill proposals create a new and unfair duty on broadband customers… It asks them to implement complex and expensive security measures on their connections to make it more difficult for their neighbours and others to use their connection for copyright infringement. The bill reverses the core principles of natural justice by requiring customers to prove their innocence.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The bill will not pass into UK law<\/a> until it has been passed by both the House Of Commons [who will doubtless chew it up a bit more before it hits the real world] and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth – whose approval is usually a matter of protocol, but who knows; she might be a big fan of bit torrent sites… Her Navy is bigger than any pirate’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
