Tue, 04 May 2010 06:49:26 +0000 http://onlinejournalismblog.com/?p=4488#comment-14772 @ Matthew, Exactly WHY is this bill needed? It seems to us in the US that liberties/freedoms in the UK have been under attack for many years. It's been said that failure to fight for your freedom results in a loss of your freedom...I happen to believe that. Endless copyright, we don't need, but reasonable copyright laws should stand. @ Matthew,

Endless copyright, we don’t need, but reasonable copyright laws should stand.

This article makes some wildly inaccurate statements. If you are genuinely concerned, then don't rely on what you read on Blogs, read the text of the BIll and the Hansard record of debates from the House of Lords (which covered photography, and the safeguards intended to protect it, in depth). There is also a useful webpage here: http://www.ipo.gov.uk/pro-types/pro-copy/c-policy/c-policy-orphanworks/c-policy-orphanworks-photo.htm which deals with some of the more recurrent points that are (wrongly) made about this legislation.

With 'people' like unelected Mandelson in charge who needs enemies? And...Brian: The Bill is not being discussed openly in UK. The American Health Care Reform is being discussed openly in America. The Reform does not compare with this covert attempt at limiting our freedom. Believe me, if you had benefitted from the National Health Service in UK, as I have, you would be well and truly thankful.

I was used to horrific messages from Britain (aka Big Brother and 1984), but this is just amazing. How can someone with at least a little bit of sanity come up with such an idea?

How many times has he been shamed, only to be reinstated with a new and better title. The UK is becoming more like 1984 all the time. There are so many bodies against this bill but it's being pushed through the back door. It's a real concern. Mandelson is a reoccurring nightmare.
