MPs voiced anger at attempts to rush through the digital economy bill aimed at supporting artists' copyright and tackle illegal file-sharing.

Former minister Tom Watson said it would be a "catastrophic disaster" if the bill went through as constituted.

However, the bill was approved by MPs by a majority of 142 votes and will now pass to the Lords for final approval.

The legislation is one of more than 10 bills being considered by parliamentarians in the "wash-up period" - the remaining time before the legislature is dissolved.

Under the terms of the bill, internet service providers will be obliged to send letters to any of their subscribers linked to alleged infringements.

Copyright holders will be able to apply for a court order to gain access toHid ballastthe names and addresses of serious infringers and take action against them while ISPs would be able to suspend accounts of offenders.

Mr Watson expressed concern this could lead to innocent internet users being caught simply since they lived in the same building as infringers.

"There might be a deal with the Tory front bench and the Lib Dem front bench but there are 20,000 people who have taken the time to e-mail their MPs about this in the last seven days alone," Mr Watson said of the proposals.

"They are extremely upset that this bill will not have the scrutiny it deserves and requires."

Labour MP Kate Hoey said the bill could be pushed through by a "stitch-up" between leaders of the three main parties.

And she added: "The reality is out there, the ordinary person who has only begun,Blu-ray Ripper, many of them, to realise the repercussions of this bill are going to feel totally #xlet downHid ballastby Parliament."
