Here are the entries for Sing Our Petition so far - fighting it out for the £3,000 prize, praise from the incomparable Stephen Fry and the assurance that the Government gets the message: we really don't like the idea of their filesharing proposals.

Only Idiots Assume – WINNING ENTRY

Broken Dongles, London

Category: Youtube

My Entry

A punk-rock bit of crossness on the silliness of assuming guilt without evidence. Made by the Broken Dongles (which, is, um, Liam Mullone and Hils Barker… yes, this is our first, and only song!)… with apologies to Jamie Reid, and the neighbours.

Little life line of mine – RUNNER UP

Theo Simon, Shepton Mallet

Category: Youtube

My Entry

A song for the Media Barons and their Sheriffs in high places, and a warning to British MPs that they must defend us against a bad law, or suffer the consequences.

Magna Carta did not die in vain!

Fair shares for all – Digital strangle-holds for none.

Simpsons Intro – Mandelson Style!

Taryn Sligh, Leicester

Category: Youtube

My Entry

I used the Simpsons reel to show how quickly one minor infringment of rights can quickly turn into a freefall of human rights being breached daily, and the consequences that will follow.

Don’t end up like Springfield, Petition now (while we still can)!

My Entry

I used to think Vanilla Ice was a Prick, but standing between Jedward he looks like he knows his stuff. Them 2 were just prancing around doing fuck all last night. They remind me of thunderbirds puppets.

Don’t Disconnect Us! – RUNNER UP

Tom Magness, Welshpool

Category: Youtube

My Entry

After considering the potential impact of Mandelson’s Bill on someone like me (who gives little thought to how secure his internet connection is), I wrote this song and performed it with some like-minded friends. My thanks to Ruth, Sarah, Dave and Owain for their help!

Mandelson’s epiphony

Tommy C, London

Category: Youtube

My Entry

Peter Mandelson realises the consequences of his actions.

Imagine there’s no broadband
How backward would that be?
No files downloaded
For fear of P-2-P
Imagine all the hackers
Fishing with a P

You may say that I’m a vampire
‘Cos I wasnt listening
I know now that guilty would
Be confused with innocent

Category: Youtube

My Entry

In his latest video message from the Afghan mountains, The King Of Terror emerges to share his dismay at the threat to artistic freedom posed by Bono and his anti-filesharing crusade.

Dear Mandy

Dan Bull, Bromsgrove

Category: Youtube

My Entry

An open letter to Peter Mandelson regarding the newly announced Digital Economy Bill. Haven’t had a reply yet – perhaps he’s still trying to think of something that rhymes with “autocrat”.
