BPI does it again

The British Phonographic Industry was allowed to force six UK internet service providers into disclosing the names and addresses of 31 individuals that have been alleged to uploading a large number of music files on to P-2-P networks.

"Today's result is a blow for illegal uploaders who believe that the law simply does not apply to them," commented BPI general counsel Geoff Taylor

This follows the fact that earlier this month BPI has reached out of court settlements with 23 of its 26 cases that were launched in October of 04.

The previous settlements have amounted up to £4,000 and have included situations where children were sharing music without their parents knowledge or consent.

"We would particularly advise parents to check what their children are doing on the internet and make sure that they are not breaking the law by filesharing illegally".
