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."

    Well, this guy was extradited from Australia to USA for copyright infringement

    Australian pirate to be extradited to the United States

    A ground-breaking ruling against an Australian man accused of pirating software, games and music worth over $50 million should have all pirates in the world scared. Hew Raymond Griffiths who went by the online name BanDiDo, has never been to the United States but will be tried in a U.S. court after the U.S. won the battle to extradite him.

    Ouch.
