		<description><![CDATA[Media regulator OfCom will reportedly meet with rights holders, ISPs and other stakeholders tomorrow to begin work on the &#8216;code of conduct&#8217; that will help make the three-strikes system set out in the Digital Economy Act a reality. That&#8217;s actually quite a bit sooner than originally expected, we thought everything might now be on hold<a class="moretag" href="http://www.thecmuwebsite.com/article/ofcom-to-start-three-strikes-code-discussions-this-week/"><p>[Click for full details]</a>]]></description>

In a flurry of activity, the House Of Lords yesterday voted through the final version of the controversial Digital Economy Bill, accepting the last minute amendments (mainly cuts) that had been<a class="moretag" href="http://www.thecmuwebsite.com/article/digital-economy-act-becomes-law/"><p>[Click for full details]</a>]]></description>
