The music industry has welcomed Virgin Media’s anti-piracy measures that will accompany its new subscription music download service.
It was recently announced that the cable operator will soon offer unlimited DRM free MP3 downloads to its subscriber base for a monthly fee.
A deal has already been signed with the Universal Music Group to access its back catalogue, while Virgin Media is also understood to be in talks with other labels such as EMI to join the scheme.
To launch in the fourth quarter of 2009, the new service will also be accompanied with tougher measures to tackle peer-to-peer illegal file sharing over Virgin Media’s network.
Among the proposals, the service provider will temporarily suspend internet access for any customers who ignore written warning letters.
