PRS for Music’s latest report has proposed a levy on ISPs based on the amount of piracy ocurring on their networks – or as PRS’ Will Page describes it, ‘incentives through compensation’.”There is a big need for incentives to be introduced to this debate,” he tells the Financial Times. “The Digital Economy Act states that this problem has to be measured.
