More legal action against The Pirate Bay - GoFuckYourself.com

Ronald Goldman's father is taking legal action to stop a file-sharing Web site from posting O.J. Simpson's book, "If I Did It," about the slaying of his son and Simpson's ex-wife.

Fred Goldman, who has the rights to the best-selling book, claims he has lost at least $150,000 since the popular Swedish site The Pirate Bay made the book available for free downloads, according to the lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Although Goldman's attorneys have sent a letter demanding the Web site's operators stop posting the book, the defendants have indicated "they are not subject to the laws of the United States," the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit seeks to recover profits from the "illegal publication" and suggests The Pirate Bay receive advertising money from such American companies as Wal-Mart, Target, Jamster and The Wall Street Journal.

"It's the wealth through the advertising" that allows the site to remain, said Goldman's attorney, David Cook.

they better hope they don't get the "bodog".

i.e. piratebay loses a default judgement in the u.s. and has their domain ganked.

It's impossible to stop something from coming out on the net if it's already available there.

from a business stand point, i hardly see how a few thousand 14 year old downloaders are putting a dent into global book sales of a book intended for 35+ year olds

you would think that high profile people, when starting a lawsuit and then embarking on a PR mission would at least educate themselves on the fundamentals of the case that they are pursuing.

Goldman?s attorneys wasted more of their client?s money by sending letters to The Pirate Bay demanding that the ?the Web site?s operators stop posting the book?. It seems they received the standard Pirate Bay response of reminding everyone that ?they are not subject to the laws of the United States?, which is of course, 100% true, residing in Sweden as they do.

The Pirate Bay?s brokep told TorrentFreak: ?It?s the same thing over again. People need to learn how the internet works before they try something like this. I welcome his lawsuit, since he has no case whatsoever. Maybe we should sue over taking our time and lying in the media about what we do??

The lawsuit claims that The Pirate Bay is making an ?illegal publication? of the book, with its advertisers - heavyweights such as Jamster, Target, The Wall Street Journal and Wal-Mart - collectively, according to attorney David Cook at least, providing ?the wealth through advertising?.

Cook said: ?Ron Goldman LLC will never be able to stop these pirates from posting that book online but they can do that in the poorhouse.?

Finishing on a threat may be customary Mr Cook, but it won?t work. Guaranteed.
