IFPI Wants EU-Wide ISP Piracy Controls

Another indicator that momentum appears to be building both in the U.S. and abroad for ISP intervention.

From Alexandra Osorio, Digital Music News:

If music fans are always stealing online, then why not simply block illegal destinations and yank offending accounts? The idea seems like heresy to most - including ISPs - though major content holders are pushing for more stringent controls. Just recently, label trade group IFPI advocated strict, ISP-based controls in a memo to European lawmakers leaked by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
