From Digital Economy Bill protests to Chilean miners to the crowd's chip frenzy at IDF, the tech news was captured in photos by ZDNet UK. Here are some of the best
In March, protestors gathered outside the Houses of Parliament to complain about the Digital Economy Bill, which was being fast-tracked through the Commons ahead of the general election.
The protest was organised by the Open Rights Group, which was particularly opposed to the provisions in the bill for potentially disconnecting those who are repeatedly accused of unlawful file-sharing. The bill was eventually passed in April, and met with some opposition from ISPs, who recently won a High Court review.
Blogger Cory Doctorow (pictured above) was one of the protestors in March. ZDNet UK asked Doctorow whether he thought the protest would make a difference. "All of these things make a difference, whether in the short term or the long term," he said, adding that it was "crazy" to have to ask MPs to "show up for work and talk about the law before they pass it".
