British ISPs Fail To Defeat Digital Economy Act

Posted by samzenpus on from the stop-the-music dept.

judgecorp writes "ISPs objecting to the British government's Digital Economy Act have lost a court challenge which argued the Act breaches fundamental rights. There's still room to appeal, but it looks like alleged file sharers will be getting warning letters next year."

    By your logic I am also contributing to the destruction of the "world economy" because I don't watch films or TV programmes. I don't deliberately listen to music.

    I don't buy such media and I don't "pirate" it.

    I have neither interest in nor plans for fixing the segment of the economy injured through my inaction.

    So, am I as bad as a "pirate" or does your argument fail at this point?
