[governance] UK - Government to cut off web pirates - following

[David Goldstein]

Now that's one of the biggest loads of bollocks... that "government regards pop music as undesirable, and is trying every means it can to eradicate it." What planet are you on? What century are you living in? Mid-20th century?

It's definitely censorship. The government regards pop music as undesirable, and is trying every means it can to eradicate it.

The people making the music would just like the audience to pay for it, but have reckoned without the "everything on the Internet must be free of charge" clause in the Human Rights Convention.
