The government are trying to rush the Digital Economy Bill into law before they have to announce a General Election. It would put the onus on ISPs to prevent customers from downloading copyrighted material -- this would likely involve deep packet inspection, the digital equivalent of opening your letters.

The fact that it came about in the present format by Mandelson cosying up to Big Media only adds nausea to indignation.

Write to your MP to ask them to have the bill properly debated.
