When It comes to politicians taking a stand against ‘anti-piracy bills’, such as the three-strikes legislation that’s being backdoored in Europe at the moment, the mind generally goes Swedish, to Rick Falkvinge for example. The mind doesn’t tend to think of North American politicians, but there is an exception, in Canada’s Charlie Angus.
This Monday, European Parliament will vote on a new telecoms bill that would make it possible to disconnect people from the Internet, if they receive more than two copyright infringement warnings. The new law goes directly against a decision from the European Parliament earlier this year, when they said that such legislation would be: “conflicting with civil liberties and human rights and with the principles of proportionality, effectiveness and dissuasiveness.”
