Open Rights Group Please write to the Lords today, before the first big debate on the Digital Economy Bill and disconnection of infringers on accusation

www.openrightsgroup.org
Tomorrow, the Digital Economy Bill is debated by the Lords in its Second Reading. This is the first serious discussion of the contents of the Bill: so we need to make sure the Lords know that this Bill is currently going to be a disaster for justice and the digital economy.

Four years ago, the ORG story began, with 1,000 digital activists signing up on Pledge Bank to pay £5 a month to create a Digital Rights campaign.

If that is not a perfect success story, then I don't know what is. Now, it's more important than ever to stand up and defend your rights. For if you don't, what are you going to tell your children when they ask you: "What did you do when all this became law?".

Hi Steve, It's not a waste of time with any MP. If they've been lobbied - this will help spread the news that there is a big campaign. MPs talk to each other about what's happening and the news that lots of MPs have been talked to will spread. So even if your MP is very unlikely to agree, it helps.

It also lays the ground work for a future Tory government to help Rupert Murdoch destroy the free internet in favour of his pay-to-view model!
