UK file pirates to face the music

Jul 24 – Britain’s six biggest Internet providers have agreed a plan to send warning letters to those suspected of illegal file-sharing.

ISPs had previously argued they were mere conduits and not responsible for content.

But they agreed to the deal after the British government said it would impose legislation if they did not work to curb illegal file-sharing.
