Facebook Cuts Off Pirate Bay Links
narramissic writes "Citing legal reasons, Facebook has ended its brief relationship with The Pirate Bay. The Pirate Bay added a 'Share on Facebook' button around two weeks ago to its site that allowed its users to post links to small information files on Facebook that are used to download audio, video, etc. via BitTorrent. Facebook is now blocking those 'bookmarklets' as well as any links from The Pirate Bay, said Peter Sunde, of The Pirate Bay. Sunde said he received an e-mail from Facebook justifying the action because of the legal proceedings against Sunde and three others. The men are awaiting return of a verdict on April 17 from a trial that concluded early last month in Stockholm. They are charged with helping to make available material under copyright."
They've just changed the status to "complicated".
Of course, we all know what comes next: In a few weeks, their status will go back to "In a relationship", and the day after prom will be suddenly changed to "single".
The society for a thought-free internet welcomes you.
Where am I going to get pirate bay links now?
You can take the users out of myspace but you can't take the myspace out of the users.
I predict a sudden increase in Slashdot predictions.
