Pirate Bay Buys Former Anti-Piracy Site

zekrahminator · Oct 15, 2007

One of the world's largest and well known torrent trackers recently found a new domain name: IFPI.com. IFPI stands for the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. While this may seem like it has absolutely nothing to do with piracy, the IFPI is actually the parent organization of the more well-known RIAA and BPI (British Phonographic Industry). The IFPI used to sue piracy firms just as often, if not more often, as the RIAA. Now that the Pirate Bay acquired the address, they quickly took the liberty of re-assigning the initials. IFPI now stands for International Federation of Pirate Interests, according to Pirate Bay administrator Brokep. The old IFPI is not pleased with this maneuver. Fortunately for the International Federation of Pirate Interests group, efforts to regain the domain are going nowhere fast. At this point, it seems as though the Pirate Bay attained a hearty treasure.

Why did they buy it?

They could have simply downloaded it using Bitorrent.

bassmasta · Oct 15, 2007

they didn't actually buy the company, they bought the domain name.... right? I don't think it would look very good if they actually did buy them out.

And they wonder why software keeps getting pirated....

IMO, software prices have always been too high. Games, Windows, Photoshop, etc. The only reason I buy games is so I can play online with a legit key.

LMFAO!

Unlucky Bill Gates. He just keeps losing his anti-piracy movements. Douche. (I know it's not related but it's another victory to the type of place you find various Microsoft products)

I was just saying to a friend earlier, I've always seen buying the latest windows as soon as it comes out as burning $500 AUD for something that doesnt work. That is why I didn't get XP until it was out for 3 years.
