Court Orders the Pirate Bay To Delete Torrents

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-the-names-of-the-torrents dept.

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."

    They should just provide a link on the site to the online version of the court order listing all the links they're supposed to delete.

    Then let them sue the court.

    block all dutch users from accessing *all* copyrighted torrents.

    So they have to block all Dutch users then?

    I would be surprised if there was a *single* item on TPB that wasn't copyrighted, whether it's legal or not.

    Linux distros? Perfectly legal, but still copyrighted.

    Is someone screwing up the translation, or is the Dutch court really that brain-dead?
