SOPA & Business Rates Avoidance

from 5 Live Investigates Hosted by BBC Radio 5 Live

As Wikipedia takes down its English language website in protest against proposed anti-piracy laws in the US, Adrian Goldberg looks at the implications of the Stop Online Piracy Act for internet users in the UK. Internet giants like Ebay and Google have come out against the proposals arguing that it would stifle freedom of speech but others argue these companies are profiting from the illegal acts of those using their services and should be doing more to monitor their activity. Plus: the shops being occupied by charities so that landlords can avoid paying empty property rates.
