FTA:
The digital economy bill is driven by incompetence, not malice. Ably assisted by a three-line whip. And what justified incompetence! The copyright situation in this country is utterly confusing. Parts of the bill that have solid commercial sense behind them, such as clause 43, interact with so many other laws and precedents that it will be impossible to find a solution to the orphan works problem without annoying some group of creators.
