The Pirate Bay On Track To Be Banned In the UK?

redletterdave writes with this excerpt from the International Business Times about the fate of the Pirate Bay in the UK: "Swedish filesharing website The Pirate Bay may soon be blocked in the UK after a London judge ruled that the site breaches copyright laws on a large scale, and that both the platform and its users illegally share copyrighted material like movies and music. In addition to finding legal fault with The Pirate Bay and its users, the British Phonographic Industry also wants all British ISPs to block access to The Pirate Bay in the UK."

On behalf of the rest of the world, we'll miss you guys.

Websites like The Register & the BBC have provided valuable information about the UK, its culture, its way of life, and at times, a better understanding of your country. Still, if your leaders are intent on cutting off their country's arm at the wrist, and cannot be persuaded against such an action, the rest of the world shall get together every September 4th, and host a UK day, during which we will look through the internet archives, and relive the experience of .uk websites.

Good-bye, and fair wishes to you all.
