- Kasot, on 10/15/2007, -8/+78This is too hilarious for words!
The Pirate Bay is on a pwning spree :) - DeusNova, on 10/15/2007, -3/+58Pirates are unstoppable!
- Bossy, on 10/15/2007, -17/+67Science bless The Pirate Bay.
- ChristBehemoth, on 10/15/2007, -7/+53let's just say ***** MPAA, ***** RIAA
- nizzy1115, on 10/23/2007, -3/+48something is weird about this...
- h4mx0r, on 10/15/2007, -3/+44Arrrrr!
- Tracon, on 10/14/2007, -6/+41What does that even mean!?!?!?!?!?oneone??!!?!questionmark!!1
- yonis, on 10/14/2007, -4/+34You're BARKING mad!
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week! - supershawn, on 10/15/2007, -1/+28There is no mystery. IFPI.Com was a parked domain that was sold by a blogger. The IFPI had not maintained it in over a year (see archive.org for proof). The real IFPI maintains their site at IFPI.org. IFPI.com was only a short term mirror for them and spend most of its time as a parked "for sale" domain by cybersquatters. I am a fan of TPB, but they did not "mysteriously acquire" this domain from the IFPI. They bought it from a cybersquatter. Look at archive.org and the whois records for details. This is not news and TorrentFreak should have done more fact checking.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/15/2007, -1/+28Better off in the hands of the Pirate Interest.
- Gryph1, on 10/15/2007, -2/+23Well I don't know about using TPB but I support them. The Industry groups have gotten trendy as well and too powerful. Consumers are forfeiting their rights. The PirateBay may end up going down eventually, but not before resetting that balance giving consumers their rights back.
- inactive, on 10/15/2007, -0/+20“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.”
Now that is a funny comment. - jmeeter, on 10/15/2007, -3/+21Wow, that's almost too funny to be true. But god damn it put a smile on my face!
- capiCrimm, on 10/15/2007, -5/+21Question. If every situation has a Monty Python Skit, would every Money Python Skit Reference also have a Monty Python reference, therefore making a juicy infinite Monty Python References loop?
- acceleration, on 10/14/2007, -3/+18We know you were kidding, but that doesn't mean it was funny
- capiCrimm, on 10/14/2007, -5/+19actually I was playing on the fact that iron-y could be slang for 'iron like', although any English language speaker would know that it's not. Just like, say, juicy means 'juice like'.
I was hoping the iron-based spam, and shill comment would highlight that I was kidding. - realyst, on 10/15/2007, -2/+16Well played, sirs. Well played indeed.
- thedragon4453, on 10/15/2007, -5/+19TPB FTW. I couldn't Digg that fast enough.
- TonyLocNE, on 10/15/2007, -1/+14***** hilarious! nice snag
- TonyLocNE, on 10/15/2007, -2/+13*edit
Now pwned by The Pirate Bay - zeromancer, on 10/15/2007, -3/+12it's not inaccurate, they really did buy ifpi.com from ifpi and ifpi still owns the .org
- jacenat, on 10/17/2007, -2/+11***** this, i already know more about vector spaces than it's good for me.
- tingrin87, on 10/15/2007, -0/+9i would have hosted the International Forum for Pornographic Images
- TonyLocNE, on 10/15/2007, -1/+10well folks... not to be the bearer of poor news, but.......... ifpi.org and ifpi.com are two different websites.. TPB has .com and the other ifpi has .org
- GenericNumber1, on 10/15/2007, -0/+9it's ifpi.com
- GMorgan, on 10/15/2007, -1/+9No but every single real life situation infringes on Monty Python IP. Therefore, John Cleese is a very rich man.
- jmeeter, on 10/14/2007, -9/+17I'm sorry, but you're the person that deserves to be dugg down. Floris obviously made a typo and has corrected it. Now you just look like a fool. :]
- clothmonkey, on 10/15/2007, -0/+7Citations, please?
- kuzotz, on 10/15/2007, -1/+7or when the Industry groups figure out how to compete on the net without trying to make downloading illegal through forcefully changing or pushing for change in piracy laws. They basically changed them seeing that in the US and other countries you can just buy your laws now.
- cbr7, on 10/15/2007, -1/+7ifpi.com was also owned by IFPI and you'd have known that if you read the artical. The IFPI probably forgot to renew and somebody took it and gave it to the TPB guys.
- TexanPsycho, on 10/15/2007, -1/+7.... and ***** the original IFPI.
- Xanthan, on 10/15/2007, -3/+9I would have used the site to host porn torrents... heh
- blacklilyninja, on 10/15/2007, -3/+9YARRRRGH!
- MWeather, on 10/15/2007, -0/+5Horrible analogy.
- clothmonkey, on 10/15/2007, -1/+5Yup, it's Monty Pythons all the way down.
- vornan19, on 10/15/2007, -1/+5Aye!
- tingrin87, on 10/13/2007, -1/+5no, it's when the companies don't adequately compensate the artists for their work...
it'd be like some company paying Da Vinci for the Mona Lisa, mass producing it, and sell it under the guise that they were giving him profits, when in reality they were giving him pennies for every dollar they made. - Cloudime, on 10/15/2007, -3/+6Weird, when I go to ifpi.org it is down, I get the "cannot find the server" error.
I doubt it, but dead link? - pimpbot, on 10/13/2007, -3/+6Go pirates! raw raw!
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 10/15/2007, -0/+3Yeah. Looks like some time after Oct. 19, 2006 it stopped being their main website.
October 2006: http://web.archive.org/web/20061019060329/http://w ...
May 2007: http://web.archive.org/web/20070313223830/http://w ... - vat0r, on 10/13/2007, -0/+3I'm for the pirate movement and all but that right there is irony in it's purest form... It's knowledgeable ;)
- Waterrat, on 10/13/2007, -0/+3 It did mine as well...Great Digg!
- lordspidey, on 10/13/2007, -6/+8YES GO PIRATES ***** you CRIA actually there pretty cool except banning demonoid from us canadians /me drops a tear
***** YOU MPAA AND ***** YOU RIAA your all greedy lawers - Stonekeeper, on 10/15/2007, -1/+3Reminds me a little of this too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDxMQaMqsig
- TechCF, on 10/13/2007, -1/+3Well, according to the old whois they have.
- GMorgan, on 10/17/2007, -1/+3Global Warming. It's caused by the persecution of his holy pirates over the past few centuries. We have a graph and everything.
- HOOKSTER1231, on 10/15/2007, -0/+2George Washington?
- Metasquares, on 10/13/2007, -0/+2After all, they're not really pirates until they've commandeered some domains :)
- Travelsonic, on 10/13/2007, -1/+3Its so ironic that your writing style shouts elite and knoledgable, when you can't reach past gross generalizations.
I fail to see your irony, as only some of the people fit your generalization, some do not, and others fit a seemingly differen category alltogether.
I doubt you'd see the categories though. -
