(Gigwise) Paul McGuiness, the long time manager of U2, has called on Internet service providers to do more to help tackle the problem of music piracy. In an ardent speech at the MIDEM music conference in Cannes yesterday (January 28th), McGuiness said that persistent illegal downloaders should be disconnected by their ISP. "If you were a magazine advertising stolen cars, handling the money for stolen cars and seeing to the delivery of stolen cars, the police would soon be at your door," he said. "That's no different to an ISP, but they say they can't do anything about it." - more on this story
