A retrospective on the DE Act 2010

After campaigning against the Digital Economy Act, which had been passed in the parliamentary wash up, I wrote and presented on the subject to Brockley Labour; I recently found the slides and needed to move them from one storage location to another. The presentation is available, here, and called, The Digital Economy Bill.

The slides cover the parliamentary road to the Biil/ Act, big music & Hollywood’s strategies, what is the IP Law, & music industry economics, It’s actually quite long and was designed to be both educative and polemic. (Hollywood were less engaged in those days as the networks weren’t fat enough to carry movies).

This was recovered from a disk, posted in July 2020 and backdated to a time about when i wrote and made the presentation …
