they actually listen to him Unfortunately, not so. e.g. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/8030467/Inter... The Digital Economy Act he is complaining about in that article - which, like SOPA, included provisions for national censorship in the name of copyright - passed by a large majority.
