s92A Replacement To Be Debated In Parliament Tomorrow

According to the provisional order paper the new s92A formally titled the Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendent Bill is being debated tomorrow (Tuesday) and you can watch it live online at Parliament TV or on TV at Freeview 22, Sky 94, or TelstraClear 94.

Although New Zealand has so far avoided a Guilt Upon Accusation-style law the UK haven’t been so lucky. The Digital Economy Bill was hurried through before their election, but it seems that some political parties are already talking about repealing it:

“We did our best to prevent the Digital Economy Bill being rushed through at the last moment. It badly needed more debate and amendment, and we are extremely worried that it will now lead to completely innocent people having their internet connections cut off,”

Yes, quite.
