Net tightens for music piracy

0610436.jpgA CLAMPDOWN on illegal file-sharing has begun. In the UK, six of its biggest internet service providers have agreed a plan with the music industry to tackle piracy online.

And although local ISPs have not been included in the plan, Wave Telecom managing director Tim Ringsdore said it was important that local internet users acted with caution when downloading or uploading. ‘Wave Telecom encourages customers to use the internet responsibly and this is reflected in the terms and conditions of service that customers sign.’

A spokesman for Cable & Wireless said the company had not been approached about the UK plans, but supported the words of its competitor for people to use the internet responsibly.

No one from Newtel Solutions was available for comment.
