The British phonographic industry is attempting to crack down on music piracy in Britain by turning its attention to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The association has now demanded that two internet providers suspend 59 accounts. The BPI, which represents hundreds of record companies, as well as manufacturers and distributors, says it has gathered enough evidence against these accounts to prove that they have been using pirated file-sharing networks.
The association added that it had identified IP addresses that had been used to upload significant amounts of music under copyright, but since it could not identify the users directly, the association has asked for ISPs to cooperate. ISPs Tiscali and Cable & Wireless have stated that they already have a policy covering illegal file sharing but are reviewing the demands of the BPI.
