The 42 Cable & Wireless customers accused by the music industry of unauthorised file-sharing look likely to have their accounts withdrawn in line with a demand from industry body the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
The BPI wrote to C&W demanding that the 42 accounts be withdrawn because users were uploading music without permission. They now look likely to get their way.

“Cable & Wireless and its ISP, Bulldog, have an acceptable use policy that covers illegal file-sharing,” said a statement from C&W. “This would normally mean that any accounts used for illegal file-sharing are closed. We will take whatever steps are necessary to put the matter right.”
A further 17 users of Tiscali’s internet service could face the same action, though Tiscali was less certain in its response to the BPI ’s demand.
