For the fifth time in a year the European Parliament has spoken out against tougher anti-piracy legislation that would allow alleged file-sharers to be disconnected from the Internet, based on evidence provided by anti-piracy lobby groups.

In a vote earlier today, 407 Members of Parliament voted in favor of the amendment (138/46) while only 57 were opposed.
