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'm pretty sure if someone in France decided to order me to delete something, I'd tell them to get stuffed.

    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!
