Digital Economy Bill [HL]

I hear what the noble Lord says and I will bear in mind the phrase that he used—a few pence. I will write to him about this issue but the context in which we are arguing this case is that the Bill is directed at tackling what we all appreciate are offences with regard to illegal activity. As I have indicated, there is no difference between noble Lords in any part of the House about the importance of promoting legitimate operations on the internet and extending legitimate copyright. The Government have made that clear in every aspect of defending this measure.
