| Quote: | BREIN Wants Pirate Bay to Block Dutch Visitors
Written by Ernesto on July 21, 2009
Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN has presented its demands to the former Pirate Bay operators and its prospective buyer. Today, in a court case against the three co-founders of the site, BREIN demanded that they block access to all Dutch visitors.
After targeting smaller BitTorrent communities for the past three years, BREIN has recently moved on to the bigger fish. In June they were in court against Mininova, and today they took on the largest Bittorrent tracker – The Pirate Bay.
At the Amsterdam court BREIN’s lawyer demanded that the operators of the site block access to all Dutch visitors. The lawyer claimed that The Pirate Bay is assisting in copyright infringement by allowing millions of visitors a day to download copyrighted content. Interestingly, Global Gaming Factory – the Swedish company likely to take over the site in a few weeks – was also added to the lawsuit.
The relevance of this case remains to be seen. The defendants, who were summoned to court through Twitter and FaceBook, were not present at the hearing and it’s certainly possible that they remain unaware of the proceedings. That aside, the site itself is currently scheduled to change ownership at the end of the month, and go legal, so that will render the case useless.
The Pirate Bay is no stranger to having visitors blocked access to the site. IFPI took legal action in Denmark and more recently in Norway to accomplish a similar block in those countries. However, in these cases, legal action was taken against ISPs and not the operators of the site itself.
Whether or not this Dutch strategy is going to work out is unclear. Meanwhile, BREIN’s website is still suffering from the alleged DDoS attacks that started after the outfit announced its legal proceedings against The Pirate Bay. The judges will now review BREIN’s demands – the verdict is due on July 30th. |

True, but only dumbasses get fucked like this. You just gotta pay attention to who is the uploader (especially new rls's) and that's it.
