Digital Economy Bill [HL]

My Lords, I understand what my noble friend is saying. However, the subscriber’s address identifies the potential infringement, so I am not entirely sure that his objection to my wording is correct. No doubt his technical advisers can advise him on a more apposite wording to replace the subscriber’s address. However, that is not the point of the amendment. The point is that it does not imply—the wording of the Bill does imply this—the clear guilt of the subscriber, either by perpetrating the infringement themselves or by giving permission—actively or passively—to somebody else to do it. That is the point of the measure. The reference to a subscriber’s address may not be correct, but there must be a reference which covers that point.
