How should illegal file-sharers be punished?

A group of British musicians have agreed that illegal file-sharers should have their bandwidths "squeezed". Is that the right approach?

Lily Allen and Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien were among 100 artists who got together in London to talk about the issue.

They voted to support a plan to send two warning letters to file-sharers before restricting their broadband speeds.

Lily Allen first waded into the argument over file-sharing on 10 days ago saying it had a "dangerous effect" on British music.

Should illegal file-sharers have their bandwidth cut? Should there be harsher penalties? Will Internet Service Providers (ISPs) agree to the plan? How do you get your music?
