Let us not forget that the Digital Economy Act does a heck of a lot more than the "copyright infringement" measures which have been so focused upon. It also contains provisions concerning:
- the functions of Ofcom
- Internet domain registries
- the functions of the Channel Four Television Corporation
- the regulation of television and radio services
- the regulation of the use of the electromagnetic spectrum
- classification of video/DVD and computer games
- public lending right in relation to electronic publications
All of these measures are pretty uncontentious, and many are highly desirable - especially the PLR extensions.
