The Digital Economy Bill has been analyzed by the Joint Committee on Human Rights and the idea of leaving IT services users without IT connectivity if they share files illegally, is not acceptable because of the fact that the Government hasn’t given too many details. Also, according to committee of Ms and Lords, leaving users without Internet, could really have a strong effect on internet user’s human rights.
IT services providers shouldn’t cut file-sharers off and the Human Right committee says that “we do not believe that such a skeletal approach to powers which engage human rights is appropriate. There is potential for these powers to be applied in a disproportionate manner.” Also, the Digital Economy Bill lacks details about the right of a file-sharer to appeal process.” We consider that statutory provision for a right to appeal to an independent body against inclusion on any infringement list would be a human rights enhancing measure.”
