The British Phonographic Industry director general, Andrew Yeates, has laid the ground for the roll out of RIAA-type individual lawsuits, on this side of the pond, for p2p file sharing:

"We want to increase awareness of the legal implications of file-sharing. If these are not working, there has to be a degree of enforcement".

He confirmed this position a the RSA's "Music And Technology: Policy Frameworks for the Future" which I attended yesterday. (More on that when I get a minute to myself).
