article published on 5 November, 2009

The EU has ruled to change the Internet piracy "three strikes" bill, in an effort to give more rights to those accused of piracy.

The right to a trial if they're accused? Now they're gonna have their whole court system backed up with this nonsense. Amend the bill? They should abolish it.

this could only be a good thing, does anyone think for a second the courts are gonna be happy to pay for these trials, the communication anti piracy organisations (whatever the hell they will be called) are gonna be okay with paying investigators to actually find all the evidence needed to prove them guilty just to get the persons internet connection disconnected. personally i dont think so, after a few people stand up and fight the 3rd strike disconnection the whole thing will be abolished because it'll be too expensive to continue giving the accused a trial.

Ha ha ha ha.

Way to go the EU!

Now we have the Lisbon Treaty sorted (which gives greater powers to the directly elected European Parliament) we will have our personal liberty protected.

The very idea that the EU would fall in with the demands of the Anglo-US 'business parties' was laughable.

It wouldn't have withstood one hearing in the court of human rights.

Excellent news.
