Cracks emerging between labels and BPI over three-strikes
The Telegraph has an interesting interview with Universal Music Group International boss Lucian Grainge, which appears to say he disagrees with the BPI’s desire for persistent file-sharers to have their broadband chopped. Here’s the relevant bit: “Unlike music industry body the BPI, Grainge doesn’t want to see repeat offenders cut off. He is, however, encouraged that the ISPs are finally agreeing to act on piracy…” Grainge also denies that Universal’s recently-announced deal with Sky to launch a music subscription service is an attack on iTunes.
