Having failed miserably in previous attempts to stamp out illicit filesharing, the record industry has now joined forces with other entertainment lobby groups to demand that the government takes action to protect their business model.
Speaking
at a joint meeting of the Federation of Entertainment Unions, UK Film
Council and Bafta on the future of the creative industries last week,
the chairman of the British Phonographic Industry called on the
government to take seriously the argument that, in the face of illicit
file-sharing, a "write and sue" policy will not be effective, to
introduce legislation requiring ISPs to act
against persistent unauthorised downloaders and to recognise that the
music industry has already transformed its business models online.
