Pirate Bay hit with court-enforced ISP ban

[admin]

The Danish equivalent of the Supreme Court has slapped an ISP ban on torrent website Pirate Bay, upholding a previous decision that had been appealed by service provider Tele2. The Pirate Bay is possibly the MPAA’s biggest target in the piracy war, and a constant thorn in the side of media-holding corporations that have endured TPB’s largely untouchable (and quite cocky) status within the northern side of Europe.

Thats too bad, I thought the Pirate Bay did a great job against the corrupt practices of Sony and the MPAA.
I believe the Pirate Bay is just as good as Sony and the MPAA when it comes to politics.

Maybe it is time for them to move their servers some where else.

Of course they will, they aren't stupid... (Notice how the site's still up? )

And yeah I agree, The Pirate Bay are the heroes in this war... showing that not everyone is subject to the unfair policies of the MPAA and RIAA. The day all media is encryption-free is the day The Pirate Bay will no longer be needed.

I have a feeling like Pirate Bay’s server is going to be a hard nut to crack when some org or gov tries to shut them down.
