The controversial Copyright Amendment Bill spurred more delaying tactics and filibustering in the Legislative Council on Wednesday, with the house seeing just three questions raised in two hours that was peppered with eight quorum calls.
People Power's Albert Chan said the main plan is to ask for even more quorum calls. The Basic Law stipulates that half of the legislature's 70 members must be in the chamber to make a quorum.
Lawmakers opposed to the bill say it will infringe on the freedom of internet users and demand changes to the bill. But the government has rejected the calls.
Outside the Legco also activists groups have opposed the bill while music and film industry sector backs it.
