Why the Digital Economy Bill cannot protect copyright
That’s according to information revealed by consumer rights organisation Which? at an event we held in Westminster today.
Brits will use broadband for "life overhaul" in 2010
How will you use the internet in 2010?
That’s the question we recently asked 2,000 people up and down the UK, and we’ve revealed the answers today.
Impressively, half of Brits say they will use the internet to try something new this year and 20% of them believe the net will have a bigger impact on their lives than in 2009.
Music entrepreneur speaks out about filesharing
The reverberations from Bono’s sermon about filesharing earlier in the month continue to be felt. Following our own broadside (interpretted by some as a bitchslap) and a whole host of bloggers and Twitter users airing their views on the U2 frontman, a music entrepreneur has written a guest opinion piece on The Register that shows the music industry is also far from united on the matter.

The copyright crackdown we will all pay for
Daily Mail: Monday View - 18 January 2010
The Digital Economy Bill is one of the few pieces of legislation the government is actively pushing through parliament before an election is called.

Brits can't switch off from the internet
Last week we conducted some research to find out more about our internet habits over the Christmas and New Year period. We discovered that over one-third of you (34%) spent time working and accessing work-related emails remotely. On average, you spent a whopping three hours and 18 minutes working from home when you were officially on holiday and one in 10 of those surveyed claimed they spent over 10 hours working from home.

TalkTalk responds to Bono's filesharing outrage
Bono has accused ISPs of profiting from illegal filesharing and has suggested that ISPs curb copyright infringement in the same way they tackle child pornography.
The U2 frontman is seriously misguided. ISPs generate no additional revenue or profit from customers sharing files. In fact we incur some marginal cost due to the extra bandwidth required.
