There has been a tonne of pressure put on UK ISPs recently with regards to filesharing and cracking down on illegal music downloads. As if all the negative publicity wasn’t enough, it has now been revealed that the top three ISPs in the UK are responsible for 65% of the UK’s filesharing.
There are about six million people in the UK who partake in filesharing activities. The three main ISPs in question are Virgin Media, BT and the Carphone Warehouse. This news comes about a week after it was announced that the UK’s top six ISPs will now send warning letters to people suspected of using filesharing services to download copyrighted material.
Virgin Media has already started sending out letters to its subscribers, but there’s no word on what kind of impact this is expected to have on filesharing activity. The heat is on for the UK’s top ISPs.
