Your ISP is the IFPI’s next target

According to the IFPI's "Digital Music review 2007", your residential ISP is the their next front in the struggling on piracy.

The report spells over in nice-looking shy away from speech exactly what the IFPI expects from the ISP who's services you provide for, "We should not be doing this felony solo. With assistance from ISPs we could purloin huge strides in tackling internet piracy globally. It is very pitiable that it seems to penury pressure from governments or serene aptitude in the courts to procure this, but as an industry we are devoted to detect this rip in every way to the ending." (emphasis added)

It's unclear completely what the IFPI wants ISPs to do but, it is mignonne unburdened that they inadequacy it done now. With Bittorrent carrying more and more permitted ease every date, blocking a specific protocol or port is a non-starter. The next inductive request would be that ISPs rival up the business of matter monitoring, inspecting what traverses their network and playing great mate by informing the IFPI, RIAA or law enforcement of what you're downloading at any preordained time.

on 2007 be the year of the ISP nanny-state?
