European politicians have voted down calls to throw suspected file-sharers off the net. The idea to cut off persistent pirates formed part of a wide-ranging report on creative industries written for the European parliament.

It puts MEPS at odds with governments planning tough action against pirates. (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
