The Irish internet service provider Eircom  Ireland (defendent) reached an agreement with plaintiffs; EMI Records Ireland  Limited, SonyMusic Ireland, Universal Music and Warner Music, whereby  copyright infringers are identified and after a warning letter their  connection to the internet will cease. Eircom (not the only internet  service provider in Ireland) has undertaken to clamp down on a  percentage of offenders as part of the settlement. The implications are  potentially far reaching and many are watching closely to see how  workable the arrangement might be. If it proves to be a deterrent then  it is likely that other ISPs across the EU may come under pressure to  put similar systems in place.<\/p>\n<p>The Irish Times paper reported the court ruling <a title=\"IT IPR  ruling\" href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/newspaper\/breaking\/2010\/0416\/breaking56.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The full ruling from the Irish High Court can be found <a title=\"Irish High Court Ruling on ISP music\" href=\"http:\/\/www.courts.ie\/Judgments.nsf\/09859e7a3f34669680256ef3004a27de\/7e52f4a2660d8840802577070035082f?OpenDocument\">here <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my recent visit to Dublin I was interested to read in the Irish Times on Monday\u00a0 24th May, about what appears to be a highly-significant ruling by the Irish High Court and one which could set a precendent across Europe for curtailing online music theft and intellectual property right infringment.
