Your ISP is the IFPI's Next Target

Grant Robertson writes on Digital Music:

According to the IFPI's "Digital Music Report 2007", your residential ISP is the their next front in the war on piracy.

The report spells out in pretty stark language exactly what the IFPI expects from the ISP who's services you pay for, "We should not be doing this job alone. With cooperation from ISPs we could make huge strides in tackling internet piracy globally. It is very unfortunate that it seems to need pressure from governments or even action in the courts to achieve this, but as an industry we are determined to see this campaign through to the end."

It's unclear exactly what the IFPI wants ISPs to do but, it is pretty clear that they want it done now.
