Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 January 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [HL].
Digital Economy Bill [HL]
I now understand exactly why the noble Lord, Lord Whitty, has proposed the amendment, and I agree that it would have been better to adopt the earlier amendments of the noble Lord, Lord Lucas. There is one other point regarding the number and nature of the copyright infringement reports which will be used to try to terrify the person—they should say how long they will be kept. That should be linked to a period of time. Ten infringements committed over 20 years is not the same offence as 10 infringements committed daily. It should state in subsection (6)(a) or (d)—I am not sure which—how long the reports will be kept.
