The IFPI wants ISPs to filter traffic to remove illicitly uploaded and downloaded copyrighted material from their network, despite European directive 2000/31/EC clearly stating that ISPs may not be put under a general obligation to monitor the information they transmit, and directive 2002/58/EC granting European citizens a right to privacy of communications.
IFPI希望ISP業者能過濾流量，並移除在其網路上的違法上傳與下載之著作權物，雖然歐盟2000/31/EC指令明確指出，不應賦予ISP業者監控其傳輸之資訊的一般義務，且2002/58/EC指令亦賦予歐盟公民有秘密通訊的權利。
