IFPI Domain Dispute Likely to Go To Court

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the big-shock-here dept.

fgaliegue writes "Ars Technica has a follow-up on the ifpi.com domain takeover by The Pirate Bay. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, ifpi.org, is quite unhappy that the .com is now a link to the (still not live) International Federation of Pirates Interests. The ifpi.com domain has been free as soon as March of this year, according to WebArchive. Nevertheless, the "real" IFPI wants to take it to the WIPO under the accusation of cybersquatting."

    From IFPI:

    IFPI is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the survival and future of freedom of information and the creative expression of people.
    And that has what exactly to do with piracy? Last time I checked, piracy did not help the creative expression of people, rather just gave them yet another reason to give up on music and concentrate on keeping a stable job.

    You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
