[ORG-action] Fair laws, fair trials, no unjust restrictions

[Co-ordinating grassroots support for UK digital rights]

The Digital Britain report proposes legislation that could penalise
users with 'bandwidth throttling' and other measures without any legal
process.

If anti-infringement letter writing campaigns fail, the government
will ‘tackle piracy’ online by creating new powers for blocking and
filtering internet access.

Sanctions should be decided in the courts, not by captured regulators
and other intermediaries.

The internet should be left open and free and innovative, not
restricted to serve the narrow interests of businesses that
increasingly look like cartels.

== ACT NOW ==

Write to your MP today and let them know this will rebound, either by
restricting innovation and competition, or undermining copyright’s
reputation. Remind them that they should defend our human rights,
which mandate legal process prior to punishment.
