in 16 nations included the UK, France, Germany and Italy.

have learnt to their cost the legal and finance risks involved in file-sharing proprietary music in
large quantities.' Individual cases are generally brought by the national associations represented
the recording industry, and in some cases by the labels, as civil complaints. The UK record
industry has so far brought 97 cases, with a further 65 covered by the latest action. More than
140,000 in compensation has been paid to the British Phonographic Industry by 71 individuals.
Those who fails to resolve cases face civil court action.
