back to article ISPs mark disapproval of the Digital Economy Bill

The great and the good of the internet world turned out in force last night at the London Marriott, DJed and evening gowned, to learn who had won prizes at the ISPA annual awards dinner.

    WTF?

    Lord Clement-Jones??

    Not sure why they thought Lord Clement-Jones was worthy of being nominated as a villain. He was one of the most vociferous opponents of the Bill in the Lords and proposed a stack of wrecking amendments

    Once I heard EU law treats ISP's as carriers

    Can't understand how that POS legislation *ever* got drafted.

    But remember, The Dark Lord's followers are taking names and notes.

    They believe their master will rise again.
