The Aussies look follow a British proposal to force ISPs to terminate filesharers
In what could be described as a filesharer’s worst nightmare and the RIAA’s sweetest dream, Great Britain and now Australia are debating legislation that seeks to force internet service providers (ISPs) to drop customers whom are found to be downloading copyrighted material.
The International Federation for the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), a media watchdog and parent of the RIAA, championed the efforts. It says that over one billion songs in Australia alone were downloaded illegally, yearly, costing the music industry an untold fortune in revenue.
