Pirate Bay Takes Over Anti-Piracy Domain

In yet another snub to anti-piracy efforts, infamous Swedish BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay has taken over IFPI.com, a domain formerly owned by the recording industry group by the same name. IFPI, previously known as the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, pushes for anti-piracy enforcement in 75 countries.

The Pirate Bay -- the biggest BitTorrent tracker in the world -- claims someone gave them the domain name, which they plan to use to promote the International Federation of Pirates Interests. IFPI, which operates at IFPI.org and has previously pursued legal action against The Pirate Bay, could ask ICANN to force the group to turn over the domain.
