b314x used our news submit to tell us "I hope this doesn"t happen in the UK. But why would ISPs want to do this, all they are doing is losing customers not only if they are kicked off but alot of customers will not choose them in the first place and go to a ISP that doesn"t ban music downloading."

The group have all signed a government-backed charter in which they pledge to disconnect pirates and step up cooperation with copyright prosecutions. The big signers include Free, Noos, Club-Internet, Wanadoo and Tiscali France. |
