British Music group asks ISPs to fight piracy
Until now, the BPI has pursued individual uploaders. So far, it has taken action against 139 people, four of whom were prosecuted..
A British music industry group is asking Internet service providers to suspend 59 accounts used for file sharing, saying ISPs have failed to take efficient steps to stop illegal activity.
The BPI, which represents hundreds of record companies, as well as manufacturers and distributors, announced the request Monday. The group said the latest step in its three-year campaign against piracy would allow the record industry to act more efficiently.
