[ NNSquad ] globeandmail.com: Canadian ISPs won't block content: expert


http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080124.wgtgatekeepers0124/BNStory/Technology/home

This article (regarding Canada), had the following (to me) troubling statement:

According to a report released Thursday by the UK-based IFPI Group, overall revenue for the [recording] industry fell by as much as 10 per cent in 2007 despite a 40-per-cent increase in global digital music sales. The news prompted the group's chairman John Kennedy to urge ISPs to assume responsibility for the traffic on their networks.

"ISP responsibility is becoming an accepted idea," he said. "2007 was the year ISP responsibility started to become an accepted principle. 2008 must be the year it becomes a reality."

Really?
