The self-proclaimed “music industry champion”, the UK culture secretary Andy Burnham, recently said that he is determined to bring results to the creative industries. What this means is that Burnham is putting his foot down on a number of issues, including filesharing.
Filesharing is under the spotlight in the UK with ISPs and record labels trying to iron out a way to deal with filesharing and the sharing of copyrighted material. Burnham said that a voluntary solution to the issue of filesharing would be the ideal solution.
From the sounds of it, there are some serious talks going on with regards to filesharing and some decisions look set to be made in the very near future. This isn’t good news for UK filesharing fans.
Burnham added that he is in a rush to deal with such issues as filesharing because of the number of other issues on the table. The real winners here will likely be the record companies.
