(Please excuse the From: line, the folowing diartibe is mostly my personal oppinion)
If only there was some sort of legal entity who could lobby on behalf of the views that consensous of this list has concluded to be a sane reaction to the currently proposed legislation... Idealy this would be an entity that doesnt exist soley to represent the interests of comercial entities, either those who have self identified as 'ISPs' to form some sort of Association or joined a 'not-for-profit' entity in which the membership consists soley of comercial entities without any of the natural persons our elected politicians are apparently here to represent :) I will point out that while Ive attempted to avoid drawing any premature conclusions based on what is reported in the media until there is actual legislation being proposed, rather than 'unauthorised' leaks designed to soften the impact of any official announcement, but in the mean time I have taken the oppertunity to arrange a meeting with my MP later this month to discuss my personal views on these issues.. (Everyone loves John Redwood, right?) Wether it be a visit, letter, blog comment or on of those apparently pointless e-petitions, I would highly recommend that anyone who feels strongly about this issue takes advantage of the fact in this country we are (mostly) granted the right of free speech with which to make our opinions heard :) PS sorry for top posting, back in the days where i had the luxury of only reading emails on devices with screens bigger than my hand it didnt seem like too much effort to scroll past whatever drivel I was about to reply to.. Erm i mean ensure none of the precious context was lost to the quote-hiding-fairies!
