Suicide of the music industry?

Thursday, July 31, 2008 10:13 PDT -07:00   News  


There’s an interesting opinion piece on the Guardian website that is calling a deal between ISPs and major record labels a “suicide note from the music industry”. The deal is that ISPs and record labels will spy on people using filesharing networks for illegal music downloads and then restrict their access to the Internet as a result.

The move is a real threat to user privacy and can only be construed as a bad thing for the UK. ISPs and record labels now have the power to screw with people’s Internet access as and when they feel like it.

They claim that the move will only allow them to tamper with the connection of people violating copyright laws. It’s unclear what sort of an impact this will have on filesharing in the UK, but if your Internet connection suddenly drops off or cuts out, now you know why.
