After last weeks round of UK ISP propaganda stories abounding the internet it seems the government are willing to pretend they are listening to "stakeholders", after the event of course.

Closing Date: 30-10-08

This consultation is intended to set out and gather views on a proposal for a co-regulatory approach that could be adopted in order to facilitate and ensure co-operation between Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and rights holders to address the problem of illicit use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing technology to exchange unlawful copies of copyright material. This takes forward Recommendation 39 of the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property which addressed the issue of illicit use of P2P. The consultation also identifies and seeks views on other potential options and calls for evidence on issues related to illicit use of P2P.

You can grab a copy of the consultation document here, no doubt crafted by commercial entity friendly politicians, nice work if you can get it eh folks...

Its a shame this has come after the commercial groups declared a "victory" over common sense and the UK consumer.
