Web consultant Colin Tatehas launched a site to track how long will it take to repeal the controversial Digital economy Act, which was drawn up largely to favour music companies, threatens web site blocking and could lead to users being disconnected form the Internet.

The site also carries an interesting interview with Labour MP Tom Watson, on why he voted against the Digital Economy Act, below.
