Internet service providers and mobile firms have reacted angrily to plans to charge them for illegal file sharing by their users.

Music labels and artists’ organisations have proposed moving away from prosecuting individuals who upload music to charging ISPs for acting as
“intermediaries”.

The Association of Independent Music (AIM) outlined its proposals in a discussion on copyright reform that focused on solving the thorny issue of file sharing and copyright.

Last week AIM presented its ideas to the government’s review into intellectual property.

    Well first of all the artists won’t get paid this fee and second the ISP can’t and shouldn’t be held responsible for what it’s users do.

    In the U.S. the DMCA has a provision that ISPs are not liable for content that goes across their networks. End of story.

    story is from austrailia. however based on the power that telecom’s have in austrailia this will never fly
