The letter urges broadband companies and online advertisers to do more to prevent piracy. On the subject, Geoff Taylor, Chief Executive of the BPI, said,
"Once we’ve told Google 100,000 times that a particular site is illegal, we don’t think that site should be coming above iTunes and Spotify in the results. [Google and other sites] have knowledge that a site is illegal… that site should be blocked. But they still list that site in their search results."
