The Pirate Bay file-sharing web entity has been told by a Dutch court to remove links to copyright material.
The Pirate Bay file-sharing web entity has been told by a Dutch court to remove links to copyright material.

The court has ordered Pirate Bay to remove all links to material by Netherlands-based music and film makers.

The lawsuit, brought by copyright protection body, Stichting Brein, means Pirate Bay's founders, Frederik Neij and Gottfrid Svartholmmen, could face hefty fines if choose not to comply.

Neij and Svartholmmen have claimed they no longer have control over the site as it has been sold.

The Pirate Bay allows people to share music, films and games files through peer-to-peer links, with none of the material sitting on the site's servers.

so what?

The pirate bay’s not the only site that hosts these torrents. Since their first appearance in court, over 10 other sites have popped up, each with a complete copy of the torrents on the pirate bay. I feel that the copyright groups are fighting a losing battle. They should try and turn this new trend to their advantage, rather then trying to stop it. I can think of several ways for artists to make money through file sharing.
