SABAM wishes to put an end to the use in Belgium of all P2P file exchange programs through this injunction. In other countries proceedings have been instituted without success against the providers of this software. Because of this SABAM decided to act directly against those who allow websurfers to access these programs, i.e. the Internet service providers.

SABAM demands that all Belgian ISPs block access to websites offering P2P software, and that they take technical measures so that already downloaded P2P software could no longer be used. This is the outcome that SABAM hopes to reach by currently instituting proceedings against Tiscali. This action is aimed at all P2P software programs on which copyrighted works are illegally exchanged.
