KEY POINTS:
LONDON - Italian police have charged 11 people in connection with an alleged illegal music file-sharing network, anti-piracy officials said yesterday.
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which represents the recording industry, said police had dismantled a peer-to-peer network known as "Discotequezone."
The federation said 11 computers and more than 110,000 illegal MP3 music files were seized in the operation carried out by police in Rome, Milan and Brescia.
In two cases, police found paedophile content being distributed on the network, the IFPI said.
