IFPI runs into another snag with Norwegian ISP Telenor in Pirate Bay litigation

By jndrum

It looks like the IFPI has been foiled again as Norwegian ISP Telenor has refused to block the BitTorrent tracker site, The Pirate Bay. The article reports, "Asking an ISP to control and assess what internet users can and cannot download is just as wrong as asking the post office to open and read letters and decide what should and should not be delivered." This is a major change in the attitude of ISPs and will certainly shake up the Recording Industry’s push to internationally instate the “3 strike” policy.
So what now?
Seems to me that the industry needs to stop looking like the bad guys. I’d even venture to say that 40% or more of digital music piracy could be fixed by running PR damage control. Education is the key, but education can only go so far. Education must become norm before this problem is curbed.
