Consultation on legislative options to address illicit P2P file-sharing
Starting Date: 24-07-08

Closing Date: 30-10-08

This consultation is intended to set out and gather views on a  
proposal for a co-regulatory approach that could be adopted in order  
to facilitate and ensure co-operation between Internet Service  
Providers (ISPs) and rights holders to address the problem of illicit  
use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing technology to exchange unlawful  
copies of copyright material. This takes forward Recommendation 39 of  
the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property which addressed the issue  
of illicit use of P2P. The consultation also identifies and seeks  
views on other potential options and calls for evidence on issues  
related to illicit use of P2P.
