There was a strong backbench revolt over this and I seriously hope the Lords can be convinced that pushing this bill back to the commons is the only reasonable course of action here (I doubt they will however - the whips were clearly cracking yesterday and I'm sure the influence in the Lords will be similar) It's good to see the media coming out about this: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/technology/mikebutcher/100004879/the-digital-economy-bill-a-nightmare-of-unintended-consequences/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/apr/08/digital-economy-bill-passes-third-reading but there needs to be wider public awareness of this travesty of parliament :( Well it’s over.
