The controversial UK Digital Economy  Bill has been passed and in doing so has opened up many online debates.

The UK Digital Economy Bill has made some new changes to how the Internet is used and punishments for those who do not use it wisely.

The main idea of the new bill is to clamp down on Internet pirates by now issuing compulsory Internet disconnection for persistent pirates and illegal file sharing and also making owners of public WiFi services also liable to having their whole connections taken down if someone is caught using the public connection for illegal purposes.

Oh dear, looks like it has been a bad time for the old style James Bond type agents within the MI5, they are being sacked for not keeping up with the times.

The director general of MI5, Jonathan Evans, has remarked how concerned he is that older agents are holding the agency back with their lack of knowledge about social media, social networking and other technology.

“I think some of the staff perhaps aren’t quite the ones that we will want for the future” commented Evans to the Parliament’s Intelligence and Security  Committee.

Looks like us here at The Media Marketing Co should start sipping Martinis that of course have been ‘shaken, not stirred’ in the office and maybe the MI5 should employ us.
