    Lightbulb Digital Economy Act's anti-piracy measures are delayed

    The controversial piracy law, the Digital Economy Act, has again been delayed, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has confirmed.

    The measures, such as letters to suspected illegal downloaders and potential disconnection, will not be enforced until at least 2014.

    Since being passed at the end of the Labour administration in 2010, action has stalled due to legal challenges.

    The delay was welcomed by the Internet Service Providers' Association (Ispa).

    Under the Act, letters sent out to apparent illegal file-sharers would offer advice on how to prevent such illegal activity.

    Serious repeat offenders risk facing measures that limit, or even cut off, internet connection.

    ISPs have criticised aspects of the Act, suggesting it would unfairly force them to police user behaviour on the internet.

    this makes me

    Last month, BT and TalkTalk lost a two-year legal bid to have the Act overturned. They argued it was incompatible with European law.

    yet we can't deport terrorists becuase of human rights law, but we can stop people downloading, its all about the pera
