NBC Universal is urging the federal government to force cable companies and other broadband-access providers to ramp up efforts to block the piracy of video content on the Web.
Only about 5% of users are behind the illegal activity, the movie and TV program producer said. But, “the [Federal Communications Commission] should make unmistakably clear … that broadband-service providers have an obligation to use readily available means to prevent the use of their broadband capacity to transfer pirated content,†NBCU said in comments filed with the FCC on June 15.
