IRMA have issued a press release on their website IRMA.ie in relation to their P2P Infringment Case. The text of their release states:
High Court proceedings between four major record companies, EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner and Eircom which have been at trial for eight days, have been settled on an amicable basis with both sides expressing satisfaction with the outcome. The settlement reached between the parties provides that the record companies will supply eircom with the IP addresses of all persons who they detect illegally uploading or downloading copyright works on a peer to peer ( P2P) basis. Eircom has agreed that it will from now on implement a graduated process in which it will: 1) inform its broadband subscriber that the subscribers IP address has been detected infringing copyright and 2) warn the subscriber that unless the infringement ceases the subscriber will be disconnected and 3) in default of compliance by the subscriber with the warning it will disconnect the subscriber. The record companies have agreed that they will take all necessary steps to put similar agreements in place with all other IPSs in Ireland.
