This happened! The IRMA (Irish Recorded Music Association) is taking cases against internet piracy. Firstly, I have never head of the IRMA, and I already hate them!
The Irish Recorded Music Association has said it is pursuing cases against 17 people for illegally uploading music onto the internet.
IRMA says it is unhappy at being forced to take the action, but claims that illegal file sharing is effectively stealing the livelihoods of musicians.
The association says that in the last four years, the Irish music industry recorded a drop in sales of 19%. IRMA is the trade organisation representing 47 members, including major and independent record companies
You can listen to it here (http://dynamic.rte.ie/av/2037529.smil) or here! (http://dynamic.rte.ie/av/2037597.smil)
Ok, Ireland is only a very small country with a small population and I am not sure what things will become like, for example with the ISP's and so on! People with experiences with the likes of the IRMA or in a similar situaton, could you tell me what I should expect.
