Call Tessa now - Vote NO to the Digital Economy Bill

[tog_in_sox]

Dear All,

Not sure if you're aware of Clause 43 of the DEB which is so poorly worded that it looks like any of your photos could be exploited without your consent. The Government could even benefit financially without your knowledge.

Please have a look at http://www.stop43.org.uk/pages/read_more.html and call Tessa on 0207 219 3000

Please spread the word and let's make one final push to get this Bill properly written and debated.

Good call, mate. I hope Flickr will also do a lot to oppose this. They have a lot of clout.

Call made to Harriet.

Previous discussion on same topic - for your reference

Thx Sean, did you make the call?

I put this up to express the urgency as it's going to the floor at 15:30 today.

I'm not on Flickr so all those of you who are make sure that the groups there enlist a groundswell as all their content could be in the balance.

Well yay for no Clause 43 but the rest of the bill was passed by this fiasco.

Here's the response I got from Tessa; a stock reply from the corporate henchman

Will be writing back to her to ellicit a more directed response
