Court Bans The Pirate Bay From The Netherlands

It's time for gideon to fire up the Delorian, VCR and cloud. His services are needed.

In a full trial the Amsterdam Court has confirmed an earlier judgment and ordered The Pirate Bay to stop all their activities in The Netherlands. The Court ruled that the site’s operators were assisting copyright infringement. If the three ‘operators’ fail to ban Dutch users, they will have to pay penalties of 50,000 euros per day.

In an attempt to ensure that Dutch citizens can’t access The Pirate Bay, Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN took three of the tracker’s founders to court last summer.

The anti-piracy group won the case and Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm and Peter Sunde were ordered to block Dutch users, a decision they decided to appeal.

In the verdict of the initial appeal, the Court ruled that The Pirate Bay had to remove a list of torrents linking to copyrighted works and make their website inaccessible to Dutch visitors. This ruling was confirmed yesterday in a full trial by the Amsterdam Court.

The judge ruled that The Pirate Bay itself is not necessarily guilty of copyright infringement. However, according to the Court, the site’s operators assist in copyright infringement by allowing and encouraging its users to share torrents.

Previously, the defendants had argued that they were not the owners of the site, but a Seychelles-based company named Reservella. The Court rejected this defense as the defendants could not name the current owners or provide any documents proving that the site was sold. It concluded that the three defendants are responsible for the site.

In an appeal of one of the earlier cases against BREIN the defendants hired a lawyer to represent them, but in the full trial the defendants did not show up or defend themselves.

The Amsterdam Court ruled that Fredrik, Gottfrid and Peter will now have to pay penalties of 50,000 euros per day if they don’t comply. However, based on their previous inaction and the claims that they are no longer responsible for The Pirate Bay, it is unlikely that Dutch users will be cut off.

The worrying thing for other BitTorrent site owners is that BREIN might use this case as a precedent in an attempt to get other big torrent sites offline. If that’s the case, the effects of the current judgement might be more severe that they appear at the moment.

In the meantime, BREIN has been anticipating and making the best of The Pirate Bay’s lack of response by starting a lawsuit against Dutch ISP Ziggo, demanding it blocks user access to The Pirate Bay website.

Weird thought i just saw it on the news that ziggo didtn need to block it.

I'm sure no one in the Netherlands has heard of a proxy

And even if they didn't, they could easily go to their favourite search engine, google, type in whatever the fuck it is they want, and have torrent links displayed in their immediate search results. :thumbsup

wow, what a censorship ... it is sad that they have to block something to help what? to help nothing ... :2 cents: sad very sad move

Will you be still sad if that move increase your income :warning

Hmm just been reading about this ..I guess this is the way it will go in the end http://osiris.kodeware.net/index.php... 15&Itemid=132

Osiris is a free portal creation software. The portals created with osiris don't need a central server, they are safe, indestructible and anonymous. In those portals, all users have the same rights, so the standard hierarchys (administrators, moderators, members) of regular forums are not present, even if they are supported.

The data of the portals are not saved on a single computer, each member of the portal has a copy of them on his hard disk. The same parts of the portal are saved on many connected units, in order to avoid compromising the integrity of the portal if one of them disconnects. This ensure that a portal built with Osiris will last forever.

A portal made with Osiris has many copies of itself on the net, with the guarantee that in case of hardware failure (Broken hard disk, Virus...) it can be rebuilt from another copy.You are not asked for an internet connection to browse it because the data are on your computer. This ensures exceptional speed (You'll be asked for an internet connection if you want to add a contribute).The more people use your portal, the more it will be sure and fast.

In the portal the real user can create as many virtual identities as he want. It's possible to trace the virtual identity which has contributed to the portal, but is impossible to trace the real one, because Osiris doesn't make a difference between the writer and the distributer.Anyway we are talking about reserve, not anonymity, the IP addresses can be seen by anyone, but they cannot be associated with a single user. A bigger portal ensures more anonymity than a small one.

All the users have the same powers, the portal doesn't have a centralized administration. Anyone can read, write or edit comments and posts. This means that anyone can express his thought, and no one can censor it. Users can only suggest that a particular comment should not be there and propose a censorship, that will be done only if the whole community agree.In order to avoid spammers, Osiris use a Reputation system, used to create filters for the portal contents.
Note: Anyway, you can always create a regular forum, with administrators and moderators.

Bad translation but the cliffnotes are that isp's don't have to block any surfers access to PB, since it's not the isp's fault or problem what surfers look for on the web.

Wake da fuck up!

Free shit is coming to an end.

There's no money in it.

No money means no taxes.

Now figure that out.
