Australia falling in line with music industry talking points

article published on 19 February, 2008

Anyone who read the IFPI's annual report on the state of the music industry when it was released in January would have already been aware that their stated goal for this year was to hold ISPs responsible for copyright infringement taking place on their networks.

And the last line in this article says it all about the music industry!

It very simple no one wants to take responsibilty for their own actions including but not limited to CEO's of failing business models.

following on from the article in the uk tiscali have silently agreed to this and have been employing it for the past year which has only just come to light.

Exclusive Tiscali, the UK's fourth largest broadband provider, implemented a "three strikes" arrangement with the record industry to disconnect illegal filesharers last summer, The Register can reveal.

But over a matter of hours yesterday any deal that Tiscali thought it had made with the BPI evaporated in a row over money.

Relations between the pair are in disarray as they battle over who should cover the costs of sending warning letters to peer to peer users and then disconnect persistent copyright infringers. The system the two-million-customer ISP believed it had agreed with the BPI is the same one that the government is pushing all ISPs to enforce.

unlike individuals isp's can be sued for huge amounts and is obviously more lucrative for the BPI/RIAA/IFPI ect and the record industry knows there is absolutely no way they can stop the spread of information unless ppl are forced to adopt content blocking at their modems or on the pc but hackers will soon rip any methods to pieces that the gatekeepers employ in their anti freedom of speech campaign.

Whatever happens in Australia i hope that it is left up to the user not the isp to take responsibilty whatever happens to freedom of information legislation we have inplace. If they do want to do something like this the new pruposed law has to be passed by parliment.
