At 30p a week it's silly not to. I read that judgement with intense interest last week after it was handed down and didn't realise there were like minded peeps locally that used newzbin. The mods at Newzbin are currently considering an appeal and indeed there news page seems to suggest the injunction levied (they have to filter out out copyrighted material to do with the big 5 Hollywood producers) is temporary. http://v3.newzbin.com/news/view/?nw_id=253 I have my doubts though, the industries lawyers seemed to have convinced the judge Newzbin were hosting copyrighted material where clearly this is not the case (newzbin simply point to where the material is hosted on usenet) at the same time newzbin's lawyers were about as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest and failed to get this important point over to the judge. All that said Newzbin still point the way to any piece of software or music practically ever made. Even if this ban is permanent there is still the raw search facility on the site which simply means an additional learning curve to access the material. It is probably people like me this bill is aimed at but as I don't use p2p and am very internet savvy I would always be able to stay 2 steps ahead of the feds anyway.

I have my doubts though, the industries lawyers seemed to have convinced the judge Newzbin were hosting copyrighted material where clearly this is not the case (newzbin simply point to where the material is hosted on usenet) at the same time newzbin’s lawyers were about as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest and failed to get this important point over to the judge.

He does as his political masters tell him like a nice little Labour drone.... I suspect he paired off with a Tory so he could get on with his vital constituency business in Brighton..
