A source close to the British Labour Government has just given me reliable information about the most radical copyright proposal I've ever seen.
Secretary of State Peter Mandelson is planning to introduce changes to the Digital Economy Bill now under debate in Parliament.

[edit]: Please do repost this, tweet it, facebook it, just plain MENTION it to people.

Regardless of how much of a figurehead role that would have been, it would be fucking galling to see the smug, evil bastard leering out from every damned front page for another bunch of years.
Off you fuck, war criminal scum.
