The music industry wants ISPs to police their customers, and one broadband isp says that is clearly not his job. Carphone Warehouse runs the TalkTalk service, and they say it isn’t their job to prevent users from downloading music.

“Our position is very clear. We are the conduit that gives users access to the internet. We do not control the internet, nor do we control what our users do on the internet.

“I cannot foresee any circumstances in which we would voluntarily disconnect a customer’s account on the basis of a third party alleging a wrongdoing, ” said Charles Dunstone of Carphone Warehouse.

The debate has been picking up a head of steam lately as more legislations makes it way through the courts. So far, none of the past strategies used by the music industry to discourage downloading of music has worked.
