Digital Economy Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for his remarks. As I said, I can see the advantages of one code, which he explained so eloquently even though he had to go out on a limb. He did not address how he would deal with agreements that have been made before the code comes in and which then break the code: in other words, where two parties make an agreement between themselves which the code, when it comes along, makes invalid. As he has said, he has not come across the idea that you can be both an ISP and a rights holder. Perhaps at some future time he can cover these two eventualities in writing. Either of them could create difficulties and I am sure that they could be cleared up now if they were addressed. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 95 withdrawn. Amendments 95A and 95B Moved by
