IFPI / Music Industry versus TalkTalk - it's war... (good for you Charles Dunstone))

Finally someone taking a strong position against the desired police-state edition of the Internet:

BBC NEWS | Music versus TalkTalk - it's war....

"Mr Dunstone is angry for two reasons - he doesn't want to start telling his customers how to behave, and he thinks the music industry is trying to make him pay the price for its failure to adapt to the digital age. "They're not just shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted - the horse has left town, got married, and started a family... Charles Dunstone says he will fight all the way against any move to make him cut off customers engaged in file-sharing - and he doesn't believe there is any chance that the government will bring in laws to force him to do that. Mr Dunstone is pretty well plugged in to the current government - so he's probably right. Ministers have been lobbied with some vigour on this issue by the music industry - but the BPI may find that supportive mood music from the government doesn't translate into new laws..."

I couldn't agree more - this ... well, UPSIDE DOWN!
