According to them due to illegal download, more than one million people could be out of job by the year 2015. As per study conducted by a consultancy in Paris, over 1.2 million jobs could be lost in Europe alone by year 2015 if nothing is done to curb down the illegal downloading.

According to the study which was focused on industries like music, television and software industry, these industries had generated around 860 billion Euros and had employed 14.1 million people in the year 2008. But due to piracy, 10 billion Euros and 186,000 jobs were lost in the same year. And if such illegal download continues, then 240 billion Euros and 1.2 million jobs could be lost by year 2015.
TERA Consultant’s Patrice Geoffron says that looking at the increased bandwidth and penetration rate of the Internet, piracy is only going to increase.

Piracy has major impact on the musicians, artists and actors as majority of illegal downloading is of music, movies where users download songs and movie clips free of cost. According to Agnete Haaland, President of International Actors Federation, piracy can be reduced only if consumers act responsibly and should be aware of negative consequences of downloading illegally. She also added that only way this problem could be tackled is by having stricter legislation in the European Union to enforce piracy laws but it would be tough as many parliamentarians are against it.

Senator Conroy puts Telstra break up in Jeopardy
The communication minister of Australia, Stephen Conroy, had defied the government order to look into the intricacies of a deal and also prepare and submit a report on the same. Basically, it was the second time that the Communication Minister had failed to submit the report on the topic under discussion which was whether the National Broadband Network (NBN) is economically and logistically viable or not.
The deadline for submitting a report on the $25 million worth study undertaken on the subject itself by KPMG and McKinsey, was on Thursday, but apparently the minister could not meet this deadline as well. It was after this that the minister refused to comply with the orders of the Senate in an open act of defiance. No reason or grounds of justification have been cited for the same and everyone is taken aback the Conroy’s act.

But it’s the government who will stand to lose the most as its failure to present all the important documents will jeopardize the smooth processing of the NBN project and may be the hot shots of the country may after all withdraw their support from the consensus to break up of Telstra.
According to the Senator, the document or the study on NBN is has very optimistic implications for the overall project and says that some of its recommendations are very surprising. Apparently, the NBN project and the deal with Telstra is overdue since long now as no consensus is being reached with Telstra officials over the cost aspect.

Cumbria couple disillusioned over broadband prices
This news has unearthed the broadband reality in the country. Before this everyone was of the view that currently the country had the best broadband services and coverage which would be multiplied over 10 times with the increase in the coverage of high speed optic fibre broadband connections. But when what happened with a couple in Cumbria hit the newsstands, the citizens came face to face with the fact that the dream of universal broadband in the country is still far from being realized.
Here’s what happened. Ray and Frei Walker stay in Cumbria and have their business in Dufton, near Appleby. Last week they applied to their telephone exchange, where BT provides access, for a switchover from dial-up connection to broadband connection and as a response were given a hefty bill of 45 thousand pound. This despite the fact that many residents in the village do have access to broadband connections but when Walker’s applied for one, they were refused on account of insufficient capacity and asked to pay a bill of 4k pounds if they wanted one.
As a result, they are forced to run their business on slow connection and face lots of problems. Walkers are really disillusioned over the whole issue and reported it to the daily media. What is un-understandable here is that why BT wanted them to pay for the network capacity of entire village. Because of low connectivity, Ray Walker isn’t able to even construct his business’ website which is a must for him.
