Dear Andrew [Gwynne MP],
I just noticed that, according to both this website:
http://debillitated.heroku.com/ and this one:
http://www.didmympshowupornot.com/ that you were not able to attend
the debate around the Digital Economy Bill. Given that over 20,000 people are recorded as having written to their
MP, and over 23,000 twitter messages (since the 17th March) were sent
about the subject, and less than 4% of their MPs attended, I’m
slightly worried about whether this bill is being given appropriate
attention. Will you reassure me that this bill is considered important enough to
your constituents (like me) that you will be asking the house to be
dropped until after the election, when it can receive the proper
scrutiny it deserves, or do you not feel that it’s important for your
constituents for you to be involved in the debate around a law which
permits the government to modify copyright without proper debate, and
which also enables “rights holders” to arrange the disconnection of a
whole household from participating on the Internet, where those
“rights holders” allege (and are never required to be proven in court)
file sharing has occurred. Yours, in hope, Jon Spriggs
