Crackdown deal on internet piracy
Updated on 24 July 2008
Internet service providers (ISPs) and the music industry have reached an agreement to clamp down on illegal downloads.
It is thought that around 6.5 million Britons have downloaded music and films illegally over the past year and estimates suggest that the practice will cost the recording industry up to £1 billion over the next five years.
The fightback against online piracy will begin with letters to thousands of the most prolific downloaders to inform them that their activity has been detected and is being monitored.
