The UK's record industry has issued illegal music downloaders with a warning that they must stop pirating music or face action in the courts.

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) has said 7.4 million people in the UK are swapping songs online illegally.

"It is causing real financial damage to everyone involved in the business," said BPI chairman Peter Jamieson.

A new instant messaging campaign on the internet will be used to warn users they are obtaining music illegally.

I moved this from Editorials and Commentary to Miscellaneous News. I don't see this as opinion, more facts.

I was in business for many years. Companies the sue their customers never succeed. Idea I met many people who didn't understand that, all of these people were bad managers.
