Stop or we’ll sue: The music industry increased its campaign against illegal file-sharing, unveiling 459 legal actions against music “uploaders? and for the first time targeting Europe’s two largest music markets, Britain and France.

Announcing the actions on behalf of the recording industry worldwide, IFPI warned that the rolling campaign will be further stepped up and extended into new countries in the coming months. It called on music fans to buy their music online legitimately, rather than risk the legal consequences of illegal file-sharing. There are now over 100 legal online music sites in Europe offering a total of over one million music tracks.
