Steve Hewlett is joined by singer-songwriter and political activist Billy Bragg to discuss a new French law where persistent unauthorised downloaders are disconnected from the web. Should the same system be introduced in the UK? At a time when radio listening overall is increasing, the number of children listening is falling. As Radio 4 pulls the plug on Go4it, Steve asks what the future holds for children's radio. And how should the surplus BBC licence fee - originally earmarked for the government's digital switchover - be put to best use?
