IFPI Calls On ISP's To Combat Illegal File Sharing

Posted: 18th Jan, 2007 By: MarkJ
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry's (IFPI) has released its latest 'Music Report 2007', which calls on ISP's to be tougher with file-sharers (P2P) on their network:

"As an industry we are enforcing our rights decisively in the fight against piracy and this will continue. However, we should not be doing this job alone. With cooperation from ISPs we could make huge strides in tackling internet piracy globally," said John Kennedy, chairman of the IFPI.

The report also focused on other areas of the industry, and claimed that sales of digital music doubled in 2006, now accounting for around 10 per cent of the music market overall.

The IFPI doesn't appear to suggest what a "tougher" stance would constitute, seemingly expecting ISP's to fill in the gaps, which is difficult when many legitimate distribution services are now also P2P based.

There are also still problems that the music industry must plug with legitimate downloads, such as how many services force you to re-purchase the same song more than once when your music player changes (Digital Rights Management often prevents the track from being moved to another device).
