Darth Mandelson is rushing through plans which would give the government the power to cut off the internet connection of anyone that has downloaded copyrighted content over the internet. Over 7 million Britons could be affected.
Industry experts warn these harsh new measures could easily lead to innocent web users being cut off by mistake. Only in June this year the government had ruled out draconian measures like this but now it appears Mandelson has caved in to the wishes of the music and film industry. His change of heart comes just days after a dinner with an industry lobbyist in Corfu.
