UK Music Protest
Supporters of the Open Rights Group were called to arms again today, this time in Soho, Central London.
After meeting people at Tottenham Court Road Tube station, we dished out maps and police helmets and sent them over to British Music House, where shortly afterwards, I arrived with other ORG staff and the large disconnection notice for delivering to Mr Sharkey.
Sadly, shortly after we arrived, the doors were closed on us and we weren’t able to give the notice to Feargal himself, so we held a short photocall and left it on the doorstep for him.
(If you haven’t seen the videos of last week’s protest yet, take a look now: ORG’s is on YouTube, and a supporter uploaded their footage to Vimeo!)

Video mashup of last night’s Commons debate about the Digital Economy Bill, and discussion about my new response from Nick Raynsford MP, once again evading my question, and a chat with one of his office staff, who succeeded in little more than making me want to mash my head against the wall.
