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.

Music industry barons aren’t just evil – they’re stupid.

    “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.”

    H – I – LARIOUS !!!

    Gotta love a bunch of flamboyant pirates. Although a lot of what they offer is cam captures they sometimes get original masters they could only get if the Music/movie industry was complicit to some degree. Left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, or worse….

    They don’t offer anything but a search service. The content is being provided by others.

    The IFPI is back up under the dot ORG domain. Geeze, there must be some embarrassed people there.

    Those Pirate Bay fellas crack me up. Perhaps humor really is the greatest weapon the world has ever seen?

  9. hhopper says:

    Yeah, I guess the original IFPI deserves both awards.

    I hereby award the IFPI the prestigious UKKMA.
