Give up? No They won’t been give up anytime soon. They will only make this law to become harsh, then more harsh then much harsh until they think they can roam free and taken total control of the market and people. Then these pro-copyright people may finally sit back and relax while watching us; the tiny little tin can, suffer.
also they think it is better to abuse the law system because it is quick and easy whether than recreate a business model. Also sue more people will attract the media then allow the media to spread their fearsome msg so people will listen.

How did this unelected slimeball come back to govnt and become so powerful.. He was fired from govn’t twice before for fraud. He’s the most corrupt MP this country has ever seen and theres little discusion about his authority. Hes the second if not the most powerful man in Britain. I hate the torys but not as much as this guy. Please vote the lib dems in. Please.
