Copyright owners have a right to protect their content under law. But recent efforts by one legal gun is complicating broader label initiatives in Britain.
Just recently, solo-suing ACS:Law stirred serious resentment by aggressively pursuing infringement claims against suspected swappers. According to a leading consumer protection group - known as 'Which?' - ACS triggered a number of false accusations from WiFi-enabled accounts. That, combined with other detection scramblers, stirred issues of account poaching and false IDs.
The issue is starting to get serious coverage in the UK, including from BBC News. ACS is defending its practice, but the whole affair seems oddly reminiscent of a recurrent problem in the US. Among the protesters is a 78-year-old, whose family claims has never heard of file-sharing, BitTorrent, or any other weapons of mass digital destruction.
Stateside, the RIAA is still wrestling with Jammie Thomas, another hangover from years of legal and public relations turmoil. But that is not the quagmire the BPI wants - instead, the group is trying to focus the strategy on 'graduated response,' perhaps just another messy variant.
