The UK’s music scene has been on something of a rollercoaster ride when it comes to music downloads, filesharing and how people get their music. While the UK’s six biggest ISPs have agreed to start policing the Internet and send warning letters to some of the six million people who use filesharing services in the UK, 7digital has rolled out a service to allow ISPs to provide music to their customers.

7digital would offer DRM-free music that ISPs could then offer their subscribers. The music could be free, or it may be offered in a pay-per-song or subscription format. Nobody is sure yet.

ISPs have traditionally been keen on offering music to customers, but the government and the music industry have really forced ISPs’ hands when it comes to cracking down on filesharing. This would certainly be one way to attempt to appease disgruntled Internet users in the UK.
