ISPreview UK writes "UK Music's chief executive, Feargal Sharkey, claims that progress has been made on a deal between the music industry and broadband Internet Service Providers (ISP) to tackle illegal file sharing. The comments came during yesterdays annual Internet Service Providers' Association (ISPA) conference in Eversheds, with an ISPA spokesman confirming that "some kind of agreement between rightholders and ISPs can be reached," adding, "everyone wants to work together to make legal online models work."

The news follows July's crucial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement between copyright holders and six of the UK's largest ISPs, which account for roughly 90% of the country's broadband market. The initial agreement approved a principal of sending warning letters to customers that have been accused of downloading illegal music or movies."
