Possible Repeal

From Digital Economy Act Info

Part of the coalition agreement does call for a Great Repeal Bill but says nothing about whether or not the Digital Economy Act will form part of it. For now, the Digital Economy Act will remain law. We urge you to put your name to the list of people who wish to see the act repealed here, at the Government's 'Your Freedom' website

Additionaly the new UK government’s Conservative culture secretary Jeremy Hunt told paidContent:UK "We’re not going to repeal it," .

Julian Huppert, the new Lib Dem MP for Cambridge, has started a ‘Early Day Motion’ to get MPs from all parties to publicly call for repeal:

That this House believes that sections nine to 18 of the Digital Economy Act 2010 should not have been rushed through in the dying days of the last Parliament; further believes that these sections have large repercussions for consumers, civil liberties, freedom of information and access to the internet; and calls on the Government to introduce early legislation to repeal those provisions.

Meanwhile, Eric Joyce is organising an All Parliamentary Group – that is, a cross-party organisation to try to deal with the Bill.

The Open Rights Group has started a letter writing campaign, urging people to write to their MPs to both repeal the act and to support Eric's Joyce's cross-party group.

After Ofcom's first draft of their code of practice The Open Rights Group have asked for the code to be rewritten as it doesn't actually meet the requirements of the act [1]
