The Sunday Business Post newspaper reports that revenue in the Irish music industry fell 13% last year, and the blame is being laid on illegal downloading. However, although the number of CDs sold fell 10%, netting the industry €110 million, legal downloads almost doubled, and some 80% of singles are now purchased online. Managing director of IRMA, Dick Doyle, said a change in how music piracy was tackled is on the cards, and ISPs could play a greater role, including a possible “three strikes” rule for offenders. This would involve ISPs booting off those who are caught illegally downloading three times. However, ISPs are likely to fight such a move.
