Danish ISP Companys Stand Up For Their Customers Against Media Cartel Group

[GhostShip]

The IFPI (the international front group for the media cartel) has been told in no uncertain terms to take a hike after it asked for special treatment over customers rights to privacy.

Danish ISPs have rejected proposals from the IFPI for a “3-strikes and you’re out” policy to deal with illicit file-sharers. In a joint statement, the telecoms companies said that they would not be a part of “detection and monitoring” activities and that the solution to piracy should come from elsewhere.

Efforts to reach a voluntary agreement between the IFPI and ISPs in Denmark on the issue of unauthorized file-sharing have failed. ISPs in the UK recently reached an agreement with the IFPI to send out warnings to alleged file-sharers, but rejected any further sanctions against their customers such as speed capping or disconnection. However, according to a Common report, the Danish ISPs have rejected the proposals completely.

They say they will not take part in “detection and monitoring activities” and believe that the proposals would constitute a contravention of the law, and would upset the balance between the interests of the individual and economic interests.

Well done to this group for making a stand against the facist style RIAA and MPAA front company that seeks to undermine democracy worldwide.

Well done to the Danish telcos for doing the honorable and ethical thing. It's bad that British telcos didn't see that their responsibilities lie with their customers, not some self aggrandizing bully merchants who contribute nothing but lies.
