TalkTalk, the UK's second largest broadband provider has been running a long running campaign to oppose the Government's planned illegal file sharing legislation.
Under the proposed new rules, suspected illegal file sharers can have their broadband package disconnected under a "three strikes and you're out" rule.
TalkTalk is concerned that the proliferation of wireless broadband packages allows illegal filesharers to hack into innocent broadband customers' broadband services. As a result, innocent broadband customers could be wrongly accused of filesharing and have their broadband service cut off for no reason.
To continue their campaign against the new legislation, TalkTalk organized a competition to write a song about illegal filesharing.
The result is "Only Idiots Assume" written by Londoner Liam Mullone and sung by his friend Hils Barker, which is "a stinging attack on the Government's plans to disconnect people suspected of watching films and music online without paying for the privilege".
The song has gained airtime following promotion by Stephen Fry on Twitter.
"I am insanely in love with Only Idiots Assume," said Stephen Fry. "It's got the anger, the wit, the musical skill - all in a wonderful package that reminds me of the high days of my youth when punk roamed the land and the young were angry and funny and spunky and spiky."
Liam Mullone, who, along with Hils Barker, is carving out a successful career on the comedy circuit, described the entry as a "ska-punk reply to Peter Mandelson". Lord Mandelson is the minister behind the Digital Economy Bill which contains the controversial copyright protection clauses. The Bill is making its way through Parliament and may become law before the election.
