The British music industry stepped up its campaign against illegal file sharing on Monday by demanding that two Internet service providers suspend 59 accounts it believes are being used to swap copyrighted songs.
The British Phonographic Industry trade group called on Cable & Wireless and Tiscali to join a crusade against consumer practices that have undermined music companies in recent years.
“We have said for months that it is unacceptable for ISPs to turn a blind eye to industrial-scale copyright infringement,” BPI Chairman Peter Jamieson said in a statement.
“We are providing Tiscali and Cable & Wireless with unequivocal evidence of copyright infringement via their services,” he added. “It is now up to them to put their house in order and pull the plug on these people.”

hahahahHhahahHAAAA! It is impossible!
unless you destroy the whole internet of course.
This is crap. Does the telephone company have to suspend services to people who are taking bets? Or making drug deals? Or talking to their buddies and planning to murder someone or to rob a store? No. It’s not up to the provider to police its customers. As long as they pay their bills they should get the service. The makers of the road are not responsible for my speeding on it or doing a hit and run. I hope the ISP’s tell the recording industry to go to hell.
