P2P Fight in the UK?
posted by mpawlo on Monday March 17, @08:23AM
from the enter-sandman dept.
Digital Entertainment miladus writes "BBC reports that the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is complaining that British Telecom (BT) 'refuses' to discuss peer-to-peer issues. According to the story, 'the record industry is determined to put an end to the free trading of music online'. BT summarizes its position by stating that 'Peer-topeer is a technology and it isn't inherently illegal'. BT is looking for what the reports calls 'goog quality legal alternatives' and has started offering 'legal' music downloads via its dotmusic service (similar to the forthcoming Apple music service?). The fight is reminiscent of the ongoing legal battle between the RIAA and Verizon over revealing the identity of p2p users accused of doanloading 'illegal' files."
