ot content with creating a continent-spanning lawsuit-sharing network using special P2P (person to perpetrator) technology, the record companies’ consortium, the International Federation of Phonographic Industries (IFPI) now wants your ISP to sign up to a new “code of conduct” that it has helpfully drafted with the help of the Motion Picture Association (MPA). A warning, though: you probably won’t like it.
According to the draft, the duo want ISPs and network operators to “enforce terms of service that prohibit a subscriber from operating a server, or from consuming excessive amounts of bandwidth where such consumption is a good indicator of infringing activities.”
When did operating a server become illegal?
