Saw that just at Chip.de, i try to translate it for you:
The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) demands payment from the ISP´s for the world-wide using of filesharing software.
The RIAA suggest a overall fee for the ISP´s to cover the turnover descrease caused by the filesharing software.
They also suggest that the ISP´s could increase the fees for endusers-internet-connections to cover the higher costs.
Read More On the other hand, the Robbie Williams CD "Escapology" was sold more than 5 million time and Robbie called the people to start the downloading of the CD from the internet, "he has sold enough". (His disk company does not find this funny.)
If the ISP´s will agree to the suggestions of the RIAA, all flatrate, broadband connections could be get more expensive in the future.
American ISP´s have allready started with selling traffic limited connections, to prevent heavy using or making more income when users using filesharing software.
