Reports claim that the Ofcom has opened discussion on a draft of the code of practice. It urges to enforce the Digital Economy Act's (DEA) copyright enforcement regime.

The body claims that the details of internet users who are accused of unlawful filesharing should be recorded. Any internet users who has been complained about, more than three times would be blacklisted. This would ensure that the record and film Companies could target legal action against them.

However, it is believed the new government has no plans of altering the DEA.

The proposal claims that the three accusations of unlawful filesharing should not be received from the same source. In the case that three accusations get received, any of the organizations that made the accusations can apply for a court order to reveal their identity.

Reports suggest that a person who gets accused of separately infringing a film, music and a software copyright can be sued by FACT, the BPI or FAST.

Under the proposed plan, the ISPs would be required to keep a record of the accusations for a year from the date of when they have been made.

Thus, a filesharer who gets accused only two times in a 12 month period would not be blacklisted.

Ofcom claims that in the case that the warning letters do not considerably reduce the unlawful filesharing in a year, then technical measures such as protocol blocking or temporary suspension of access would be introduced, in order to control the situation.
