Digital Britain Report - No 'Three-Strikes' for File-Sharers

Only recommends legislation requiring ISPs to notify individuals of copyright infringement, and to comply with court orders requesting personal info of "serious repeat infringers".

The Digital Britain Report, a comprehensive plan intended to further the UK's digital economy and society, and prepared by Lord Stephen A. Carter, Minister for Communications, Technology, and Broadcasting, was published late last week, and it contains some 22 recommendations, including specific proposals on:

upgrade and modernise wired, wireless and broadcast infrastructure;

secure a dynamic investment climate for UK digital content and services; 

provide a range of high quality UK made public service content; 

ensure fairness and access, with universal availability and promotion of skills and media literacy; and 

develop the infrastructure, skills and take-up to enable widespread online delivery of public services.

It is the section on digital content that is of most concern to file-sharers in the UK. I already reported early last week how David Lammy, the UK's Intellectual Property Minister, said the government has decided against a "3-strikes-and-your-out" policy disconnecting repeat copyright infringers, and the Digital Britain Report confirms that.
