*The Digital Economy Act's anti-piracy measures have been delayed until
2014 at the earliest, following court cases brought by ISPs unhappy with
the costs they would have to bear and with other aspects of the law.*

A judicial review and subsequent appeal, although finding largely for the
government<http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/regulation/2012/03/06/bt-and-talktalk-lose-digital-economy-act-appeal-40095202/>,
created enough changes that a new impact assessment was required, the
Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said on Thursday.The
measures, which include sending warning letters and the threat of
disconnection to internet users deemed to infringe copyright or other
intellectual property laws through file-sharing, cannot be brought into
effect until various legal processes are completed.
