Description

Oh, look, you all know what I'm going to say by now. I'll just restate this: free/cheap public connectivity is far more important to Britain's future prosperity than the existing business models of the content industry are, and cases like this endanger that connectivity. I would like it very much if we stopped fighting the future because of a short term threat to the wallets of some rich people, and got on with embracing it so that we can have all new rich people.
