Soon parliament will debate a new Digital Bill, with the proposals to have ISPs monitor everyones downloading, and report back to the music industry if these are excessive - which could possibly be "file sharing". This could cost us all increased broadband costs, but:
1 Piracy, the music industry claims it loses them £1.7B/year
2. The new proposed legislation will cost ISPs £500M/year
3. Should customers pay their ISPs for this?
4. No, if the music industry wants to protect its business then its going to cost them £500M/year out of the £1.7B they say they will earn...
Let's stand up for our rights today and stop this snivelling government pouring yet more money into a broken industry. The music business has done nothing to implement easy fast and useful internet downloading of music, but it is stil ripping off artists like crazy - they get £1 from every £10 CD sale. The music industry is broken. We should not pay to continue their stupidity, and line their pockets.
