The Pirates Win

IFPI.com, the domain previously owned by the infamous anti-piracy outfit, The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has now somehow found its way into the hands of The Pirate Bay, the infamous torrent tracker.

Making the situation even more ironic, The Pirate Bay admin team says it will now use the domain to host the newly founded International Federation of Pirate Interests.

The main domain of the IFPI, ifpi.org, is still working but anyone trying to access ifpi.com are redirected to a Pirate Bay server with a splash screen showing "International Federation of Pirate Interests."

Brokep, one of the admins of the Pirate Bay had this to say, "International Federation of Pirate Interests (IFPI) is the new international federation we're starting in order to get the word of piracy spread."

When asked how they got the domain, Brokep responded, "It's not a hack, someone just gave us the domain name. We have no idea how they got it, but it's ours and we're keeping it."
