Britain’s biggest record labels are trying to counter illegal file-sharing of music tracks by reaching an agreement with the six largest UK Internet service providers.

The service providers have been asked to send warning letters to hundreds of thousands of their customers who are illegally downloading music.

They have also been asked to restrict access to the web for the worst offenders.

The British government is also looking at legislation to stop people who are regularly downloading and swapping music without paying for it.
