Guitly until proven innocent?

Innocent until proven guilty - an historic right under British common law right? Not for much longer if new Internet law proposals are advanced.

No trial, no jury, no presumption of innocence. The government is going to allow an extension of time to resolve the issue and for ISP interests to finalise a Code of Practice.
