British Phonographic Industry Meets ISPs
Posted: 19th Feb, 2003 By: MarkJ
The British Phonographic Industry (BPI), specifically its music anti-piracy unit, has met with UK ISPs in Birmingham:
Jollyon Benn, BPI Internet Investigations Executive, said: "Developing a dialogue with ISPs has been on the BPI's agenda for some time now. Given the impact of internet piracy on sales of recorded music, it is important that we develop effective business models for our members and the record industry at large."
The BPI is keen to continue pursuing methods of removing unlicensed files from websites hosted on ISP servers, with ISPs rather than individual users or file-sharing sites now attracting the greatest focus of attention. In the US, some ISPs, such as Verizon, have already had court charges pressed against them by trade associations across the Atlantic.
Jollyon Benn, BPI Internet Investigations Executive, implied that for the British organisation, mutual cooperation was the element being most strongly sought.
It remains to be seen whether the meeting will be able to produce any solid outcome or agreement for the future. More @ Europemedia.
