Culture Secretary Andy Burnham told the music industry that Ofcom will play a greater role in regulating P2P filesharing following the publication of Digital Britain in a couple of weeks time.

Speaking at Music Week’s Making Online Music Pay conference today, the minister said that it was “highly likely” that Digital Britain will ensure there will be a basic requirement for ISPs to notify infringing customers. But Burnham also told nearly 200 delegates at the May Fair Hotel in central London that “some people in the room might not think notifications are enough and some might think they go too far.”
