How To Talk To Your MP: Aftermath

With the How To Talk To Your MP events over, it’s possibly time for a look back over what happened: as Jim mentioned over on the ORG blog, it was mostly very useful: we think that we managed to get all our points across and that everyone who still had unanswered questions left with a better understanding of the Bill and what they could do about it.

These events came about after we realised that some people talking to their MPs weren’t getting anywhere because they were pushing against the copyright infringement side of the Bill, and we wanted to explain that they’d be better off fighting the due process side of the argument: that is, that disconnecting people without fair trial and allowing the secretary of business to amend copyright law as he saw fit was disproportionate and unfair.
