"I have always up to now supported the Labour party. I now think that the Liberals are a more trusted party since they seem to have the only pro active MP's on this very important matter."

Christ man, it's the fault of people like who having voted Labour in and keeping them there that we're in the mess we're in, and now you want to switch to Liberal? Good lord!

Power to the minority

How much longer before live events are prohibited, period?

Soon all communication between humans must be by means of digital recording sent via your local content filtration centre to protect the feelings of our resident population of uptight arseholes.

WTF?

If they're not losing it they're selling it...

@ Daniel

"but on ANY day on the road, you can go 5 miles up the motorway, and encounter numerous examples of the 7 deadly sins of motoring:

- pulling out without indicating

- bad lane discipline

- aggressive driving

- pulling out while indicating but into the path of another vehicle who is then forced to brake

- driving with mobile phone clamped to head

- leaving inadequate stopping distance (tailgating)

(that's only 6, I'm sure someone will think of the 7th ...)"

Err the 7th would be going 150mph in a 70mph limit Daniel :-)

Ever thought people driving too slow are dangerous, because they're not matching the speed of the other traffic? well same goes for people going to fast, double the speed limit is too fast.

I have a feeling that if he'd committed another of your 7 sins and posted a video of it you'd not be defending his case so much.

Respect? I don't think so..

You have to respect him for being ridiculously stupid and then being forced to admit he was? lol what choice did he have? 'Yeah I lost £500 but I still stand by my statement that this story is being blown out of all proportion'

The guy is a moron and got what he deserved.

don't sell your souls so cheaply...

A few people here are saying she got what she deserved, as she broke the law.

She did break the law, but her punishment is disproportionate to her crime. Sure, you can justify the fine being higher than the cost of buying the music, but not anywhere near as high as it is. This will probably ruin her life. Your response might be 'well she shouldn't have broken the law', well, next time you're caught speeding and are punished as if you'd killed someone while doing so then you might understand the position she is in.

This is all about business and politics, and nothing about justice. And that, my friends, is the American way.
