[ubuntu-uk] Digital economy bill

[paula at fossbox.org.uk]

Well, I think it's pushing it for megaluthorcorp to try to stop
governments from supporting people in donating labour and resource to
FOSS for the public good. It still mildly surprises me that they can be
so barefaced in their lack of humanity and opposition to equality of
opportunity. I hate to point out their hypocrisy as to 'competition' for
fear that it just validates this ridiculous notion (as if monopolistic
cartels are interested in 'competition'!).

Also worth pointing out that GPL isn't threatening intellectual property
protection -- it *is* a form of intellectual property protection - it
just protects intellectual liberty rather than protecting the rich from
a slight dip in their indecently inflated incomes.
