Six leading Internet providers in the UK have agreed to help the music industry crack down on the illegal sharing of music files.
The companies have agreed to send letters of warning to Internet users suspected of involvement in the practice.
The move coincides with a consultation exercise by the British Government which could see people involved in high-level file-sharing having their broadband connections slowed down.
