Music Industry Cuts 3 Strike Deal With Irish ISP – Says they’ll strike similar deals across Ireland

In: Communication|Computer|Hardware|Site Feeds|Software|VoIP

31 Jan 2009

As we’ve been exploring, the music industry has been engaged in a global campaign to put ISPs into the role of content nannies, trying to get laws passed forcing ISPs to terminate the accounts of repeat offenders. So far laws have been successful in only a few countries (like France), though closed door negotiations with ISPs has some cooperating voluntarily. The music industry’s latest victory on this front is in Ireland, where they’ve reached a settlement with an Irish ISP to boot music pirates from their network:

“The record companies have agreed that they will take all necessary steps to put similar agreements in place with all other Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Ireland,” said Eircom, which is majority owned by Australia’s Babcock & Brown Capital and ranks itself as Ireland’s biggest telecommunications supplier.

We’ve well discussed the technical and legal problems with terminating suspected pirates based on the RIAA’s often unreliable evidence, but the labels say they’re working to strike similar deals with every broadband ISP in Ireland.
