Thanks David
Also received this very useful e-learning object on DEA from Graham
Titley (see below)
Hi Lynda
The DEA has not been implemented yet so should not affect any purchases
or licenses at this time!
You and your colleagues might find this little e-learning object (funded
by JISC) on the DEA helpful in terms of the context, background and
links to easy to understand briefing papers

Following the passage of the DEA, it came in for huge criticism from
ISPs who will be held liable for users accessing restricted sites.
This criticism comes shortly after the government ordered communications
regulator Ofcom to review the DEA, which is also likely to cause delay
to its implementation.
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt said that although he had "no problem"
with the principle of the DEA, the review from Ofcom is necessary as "it
is not clear whether the site-blocking provisions in the act could work
in practice".
