In a move that is sure to create ill will from music lovers, U2 manager Paul McGuinness has called for illegal music file-sharers to have their service cut off by their ISPs if they download music without paying for it. McGuinness also said ISPs should face prosecution if they don’t participate in the crackdown.
“A simple three strikes and you are out enforcement process will see all serial illegal uploaders who resist the law face a stark choice: change or lose your ISP subscription”, said McGuinness.
The group is also calling upon their friend Steve Jobs to help with the situation. Bono and crew recently allowed Apple to release a U2 branded ipod…and they’re hoping that Jobs can use some of his ipod, iphone, Mac Air magic to help craft a solution to the music industry’s biggest revenue challenge.
