The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is taking its first action against five alleged file-sharers who it is claimed shared a total of 8,906 songs.
A further 60 alleged file-sharers have settled out of court in the UK, paying up to £6,500 each in compensation.
Quite scary. Maybe we will now see a fall-off in downloading in the UK similar to what was seen in the US when ordinary internet users started to get massive fines.
