In a stuning puclic relations victory, the folks at the pirate bay have aqquired a domain that was formerly in use by the IFPI.
http://torrentfreak.com/ifpi-now-owned-by-the-piratebay-071012/The main domain of the IFPI - ifpi.org - is still working, but when people try to access ifpi.com they are redirected to a Pirate Bay server, showing the text: “International Federation of Pirate Interests.”
We contacted Brokep, one of the administrators of The Pirate Bay, and he told TorrentFreak: “International Federation of Pirate Interests (IFPI) is the new international federation we’re starting in order to get the word of piracy spread.”
The WHOIS info clearly shows that ifpi.com - the domain that used to be registered to the IFPI - is now registered to Brokep. We asked him if The Pirate Bay is responsible for the domain hack, and he told us: “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.”
Whilst this is not of importance to the Cartel, it surely turns a shower of water on some of their psycological methods employed to ensure filesharers live in fear of an economic attack, nice one Brokep
