Subject: petition to Government to abolish VAT on e books
can be found at: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/114
I wouldn't hold too much hope though. VAT on e books, e journals has been
raised time and time again, and each time the UK Gov't has said "nothing to
do with us, mate, it's U rules". But I guess the only way to get the UK
gov't to pressurise the EU is through such a petition. Pity the petition
only covers e books and not e journals though.....
