The UK government is escalating the War On Copying:
in a heartwarming display of public-private partnership for the common good,
the government and recording industry are co-funding a new post at the
Department of Culture, Media and Sport. The post will be held by a former executive of V2, BMG and Warner Music, and its purpose will be to stamp out the scourge of file-sharing and help ease in mandatory copy-denial technologies.
