Pirates take over anti-piracy website
Found on tech.co.uk on Sunday, 14 October 2007
Software pirates have launched an astonishing smash 'n' grab raid on the music biz, stealing the domain name of one of its foremost anti-piracy bodies.
The Pirate Bay has now taken up residence at IFPI.com, a domain once owned by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). The Pirate Bay now says the site will promote the International Federation of Pirates Interests.
"It's not a hack. Someone just gave us the domain name. We have no idea how they got it, but it's ours and we're keeping it."
What else did you expect from pirates anyway? Plundering and pillaging it is.
