Given a (sensible) push to deliver more and more government services on-line, any attempt to block that access is a form of digital exclusion, and one that increases government's own service delivery costs. Given that increasing numbers of files are exchanged locally device to device (without the need for the Internet), blocking Internet access is a futile piracy counter measure.

Would be good to see a prohibition on software patents, but I assume this would have to be at a European level.
Contracts for Government IT projects should be easier for small to medium companies to win.
