Internet service providers (ISPs) may soon be required by Swedish law to take greater responsibility for unlawful file-sharing.
The author of the official report – ‘Music and Film on the Internet – Threat or Opportunity? -, appeals court judge Cecilia Renfors, has called for internet providers to shoulder the burden of defending against breaches of copyright.
“I propose that internet providers should be required to contribute to bringing all copyright infringement to an end,” she wrote.
So donating to an organisation lobbying to abolish all copyright would qualify? After all, that is the only way to effectively stop all infringement. And as a bonus, it might reinvigorate creation of music and movies by killing the middle-man.
