\"\"<\/a>“We all know that the government\u2019s disconnection proposals to deter illegal filesharing are daft and dangerous. And many would agree that the way many people in the music industry have reacted is a little misguided. After all, haven\u2019t we seen this type of scaremongering before?” writes TalkTalk’s Andrew Heaney on the ISP’s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“If, like me, you remember the 80s, you may also recall recording the Top 40 on Sunday nights. Up and down the country, people were hovering over their cassette players with their fingers over the pause button, trying to get the perfect recording before Tony Blackburn [UK DJ] spoke and ruined it. Back then the music industry told us that home taping would signal the end of the music industry and that it must be stamped out. There are clear parallels with today\u2019s debate about filesharing and the Digital Economy Bill,” he adds.<\/p>\n

To get this message across, TalkTalk have teamed up with UK artist Dan Bull to create their own 80’s styled music video based on the ‘Home Taping is Killing Music’ campaign.<\/p>\n
