Hi folks,
I'm sorry to spam you all but this is really important. Some of you probably know about this already, but if not there's now a petition on the Number 10 website against the creation of a 3 strike Internet law in the UK. This law will allow people to be cut off the Internet and banned on the accusation of piracy by record companies or other copyright holders. No fair trial, no due course of justice, no innocent until proven guilty, just bye bye Internet because somebody accused you. That's wrong and we have to stop it. Ok, enough preaching. If you want to sign up here's the address - http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/dontdisconnectus/
Send this to anyone you know who hasn't signed yet and may be interested. They have to be a UK citizen or an ex-pat to sign, so keep that in mind when sending out emails. Thanks for your help, together we can beat this thing but it's not going to be easy. So let's kick up one almighty storm!!
If you want to read more about the situation and why you should care, have a look here - http://is.gd/52BdD
Thanks again I appreciate it, I'll leave you in peace now :)
