Court Orders the Pirate Bay To Delete Torrents

lbalbalba writes "A Dutch court ruled today that The Pirate Bay has to remove a list of torrents linking to copyrighted works. The list is to be provided by BREIN (similair to the RIAA, in Holland), and is similar to the earlier ruling against Mininova. The defendants are given three months to comply, if not, they will face penalties of 5,000 euros ($7,500) per person, per day."

    Don't forget to put a disclaimer on your site saying "Dutch users may NOT download from this site." That'll fix their little red wagon.

    I mean, I'm not a lawyer, but I'd say that's at least 300% certain to prevent the dutch from having any juristiction. Incidentally, I am also not a guy who does stuff with numbers and percents for his job.

    By the way, due to libel laws, this post may not legally be read in England.

    I've said this many times but I'll repeat once again, this general purpose net connection stack tcp/ip has to go. In its place a large defined set of protocols can allow broadcast style networking for the internet savvy consumer, and if Microsoft had the lead in engineering this, you can be sure that most computers would be compatible, and Microsoft could also sell "Microsoft Gateway" products to let Apple participate.

    This set of protocols could allow trusted machines to receive properly licensed and authorized content but still filter out other less useful but more dangerous content/extentions like exe's, zips, tar.gz's, bz2, py, and iso's, and additionally any encrypted content, and the major webserver venders would have to outlaw application/octet mime types to regain control of the internet-turned-piracy haven that the thieves like warez groups and gnu have perverted, not to mention all the pornography and child molesting an open internet produces.

    Its time to make the net safe again for our families and businesses.

    Well in order for me to find out if the work really DOES belong to the Brein group, I need a complete computer-usable copy of all their work so I can download all the torrents and check if they are part of their copyright realm.

    I will also need a large ISP connection. I will charge the Brein group for this since I'm now an agent trying to protect THEIR copyrights.

    I promise not to deliberately hand any of this information over to unscrupulous parties. I will use the same protective techniques the UK Ministry Of Defence uses! That should be secure enough!
