Page 2 of 3 The group behind the Pirate Bay seem completely unafraid and unfazed by the strongly worded legal threats they seem to regularly receive. One example is the letter sent by representatives of Enya, Aigle Music and Warner Music. Enya is a popular singer known for her unusual and beautiful melodies and singing voice. Here, Enya’s legal eagle lists a number of links to torrents they would like removed, along with legal threats and a notice that they have 72 hours to remove the links. The Pirate Bay’s response is rather typical of some of the other responses publicly available at their site, and is as follows: “Dear whatever-you-are, thank you for providing us and our users with such great entertainment. I'm not talking about Enya (hey, Enya f#####g sucks), but instead of your nonsensical email”. The letter continues: “You have - confused us with our ISP - no knowledge whatsoever about BitTorrent - no knowledge whatsoever of the appliciable laws (trademark or copyright) - made very entertaining threats (hey, go ahead and contact RIPE NCC, please, I beg you)” The letter continues: “You have scored 10 out of 10 points on our Legal Threats Entertainment scale. You win the grand prize: A lifetime of ridicule on our legal threats section (http://static.thepiratebay.org/legal/) ! Congratulations!” How does the letter end? Please read onto page 3. |
