Normally the internet is always seen as an anonymous way of sharing information. Also with sharing mp3's this is the case. Somebody can rip off music from vinyl and throw it online.

I've just heared on the news this would soon be part of the past. So remarks like "Mp3 downloading is killing techno" would soon be invalid. And providers who are not willing to follow this law are illigal and can expect a big bill for this.

So what's the deal?

The European community is bussy with a plan that every provider on the planet must register all the actions / moves of someone who serves through his/her account on log files. This way it is possible to run a total control on all things that are downloaded / uploaded in a period of time like software; movies; music.... Things that are worth money and are connected to some kind of royalties or copyrights.

If this plan goes on, this would mean a positive development for the music scene... This would mean that plans like the ones from "Mark EG" to sell CD's online are more secured in a way...

Sky is the limit.




Tell me your thoughts about this development.
i can imagine there are people who still want to stay anonymous and go on with free downloading and breaking copyright laws.
