IFPI Economic Terrorists V's The Pirate Bay Operators

[GhostShip]

It looks like another round has been won by the bay folks for forcing the hands of the international economic terrorist group the IFPI.

The UK-based organization acts as the worldwide arm for the music recording industry, but as widely reported, it apparently forgot to renew its .com top-level domain in time before it got snatched up by one of its top targets, The Pirate Bay.
While the IFPI still retains control of ifpi.org, ifpi.com now points to a Pirate Bay page that reads: "International Federation of Pirates Interests." The two sides are now preparing for a fight over the domain, and we talked to the parties involved.

The switch came about sometime last week, when Pirate Bay was given the domain by someone who had bought it after it expired some time ago, The Pirate Bay's Peter Sunde told Ars. A quick look through Archive.org shows that the "real" IFPI has not been using the domain for some time—in March of this year, the domain was a parked page with a Google search box, and as recently as April, it was being used as a blog for the "free music community."

I hope the Pirate bay follow the advice of George Bush in refusing to deal with terrorists political or economic, this case is more than clear, party A did not pay to keep it and party B did, there is no confusion here.
