This article (regarding Canada), had the following (to me) troubling
statement:
According to a report released Thursday by the UK-based IFPI Group,
overall revenue for the [recording] industry fell by as much as 10 per
cent in 2007 despite a 40-per-cent increase in global digital music
sales. The news prompted the group's chairman John Kennedy to urge ISPs
to assume responsibility for the traffic on their networks.
"ISP responsibility is becoming an accepted idea," he said. "2007 was
the year ISP responsibility started to become an accepted principle.
2008 must be the year it becomes a reality."
Really?
