The reason for protest? easyGroup is being sued again, this time by British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for permitting unlicensed music download and copying in its easyInternetCafes and on its easymusic websites. easyGroup rejects this, arguing that it does not monitor what easygroup users download and that its user terms make it clear that service should not be used for illegal copying. easymusic is part of easygroup of companies which includes easymoney, easycruise, easyjet, easynet, easycinema, easymobile easyInternetCafes stopped CD burning service last year, but since then British Phonographic Industry BPI has claimed £1 million in damages from easyGroup for illegal downloads already having took place instore. Easygroup has made a substantial offer to settle out of court. In region of £100,000.00. easymusic is part of easygroup of companies which includes easymoney, easycruise, easyjet, easynet, easycinema, easymobile It also seems that at some stage, British Phonographic Industry BPI suggested to litigous easyGroup that it would be bad PR for it if public knew music was being pirated in easyinternets Istores. In a u-turn British Phonographic Industry BPI then sought a gagging-order to prevent easyGroup from talking about this case and seems to have scored an own goal in doing so! In Court judge said he saw no urgency in matter and postponed hearing until next week, whilst outside national press took delight in photographing 20 or so boiler-suited easygroup staff wielding enormous orange cardboard CDs reading "stop easy music-rip off". easymusic is part of easygroup of companies which includes easymoney, easycruise, easyjet, easynet, easycinema, easymobile
