The Pirate Bay has mysteriously acquired IFPI.com, a domain that belonged to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry - the parent company of the RIAA.

The Pirate Bay are awesome.

Stuey · 16th Oct 2007, 18:20

cool, but how?

I think that the domain was just a redirect to ifpi.org that was given up or independently owned by a 3rd party.

Khensu · 16th Oct 2007, 18:24

Well...what can anyone say except for "pwned"...

There's not much anyone can do

if they don't renew the domain, they loose the rights to it

OK they can step up their attacks against TPB, but they still wont get the domain back, and the current attacks have failed anyway

Hells_Bliss · 16th Oct 2007, 20:22

Thats what you get for not renewing your domain

good for TPB i say.

Actually the IFPI just needs to go through a Domain Name Dispute Resolution and they're bound to get it back again. Just takes time to go through the whole process.

Yeah, they will have to go through major legal battles with this and they will probably lose, i doubt Sweden laws are different regarding domain name disuptes.

Though knowing sweden they could be!

Cupboard · 16th Oct 2007, 22:43

Sometimes I wish I lived in Sweden, some of their laws are soo cool!
