IFPI Get Bitch Slapped… Again
The IFPI, no stranger to getting bitch slapped by the folks over at The Pirate Bay, opted for a change of pace and instead had the Norweigen ISP Telenoir as well as the district court do the bitch slapping in favor of ThePirateBay.
This March, IFPI – backed by several Hollywood movie companies – gave Telenor, Norway’s largest ISP, a warning: block your users from accessing The Pirate Bay within 14 days or we will take legal action.
Without any legal basis, Telenoir refused to comply.
“This would be the same as demanding that the postal service should open all letters, and decide which ones should be delivered,” said Telenor boss Ragnar Kårhus.
The verdict in the case was due to be delivered October 30th, but was delayed until today.
IFPI has lost the case and Telenor will not have to block The Pirate Bay.
