More development regarding the Digital Economy Bill -

“The bill, which passed through the Lords by 165 votes to 140, now enables the High Court to issue an injunction against sites suspected of hosting material that infringes copyright and effectively force them to shut down.” – International Business Times.

It looks like all parties have a stand on the bill with the Lib Dems spear-heading the whole thing now wanting to ban site such as YouSendIt and now even YouTube!

There is some more interesting reading on the subject here:
