Excellent. Hopefully the UK will go at it in full force with this new law and thus one more potential global competitor will be removed from the face of the earth because surely once such an idiotic law is enforced the UK will become crackers paradise soon enough. Might I suggest that the UK moves equally swiftly with enforcing software patents, DRM, closed formats and a whole range of other proposals as proposed by self interested lobbiests or otherwise clueless so to set an example for the rest of the earth? No pun intented. Just see it as one man's death is another man's bread. And good luck then with your upcoming recension. Just imagine a country where computers and its data are no longer in the control of their owners. You'll be paying extortion prices (yes, even more then you do now) just to get something out of your computers. I'm sure you'll make a lot of overseas stockholders very happy.

Britannia rules the waves? Sorry, wooden boats are absolete for some time now. The information era requires other means of control and given away that control won't put you in the corner of happy receivers by far.

You have only yourselves to blame really. Afterall, who voted who into power? Being clueless about what makes the information era really ticks doesn't excuse you from having to deal with living with the consequences of making bad decisions. Period.
