Prince To Take On The Pirate Bay and it's Advertisers
 

Bend over Lars it's coming:1orglaugh

Prince, described by some people as one of the most creative and talented musicians, hired the infamous ?Web Sheriff? who announced lawsuits against The Pirate Bay in the U.S., France and Sweden. ?Way to go on losing all your fans? was the first response of Pirate Bay admin Brokep.

web sheriffIn September we already reported that Prince hired the Web-Sheriff in an attempt to bring down the Pirate Bay. Web Sheriff now gave out some more details on the upcoming legal battles.

The Sheriff is convinced that he has a strong case and told CNET News: ?There is no way that they will have any defense because it?s blatant piracy. They?ll either have to come out and fight or just try and ignore it. In that case, we?re going to win a default judgment against them. This could be a ticking time bomb for them. They can?t outrun this. We are very confident.?

Pirate Bay admin Brokep was not impressed by Web Sheriff?s expressed confidence, and told us earlier: ?He?s welcome to try and sue us in Sweden, there?s no basis. And it?s so funny that he?s teaming up with the joke of the anti piracy world - Web Sheriff.?

In addition to suing The Pirate Bay, Web Sheriff also told CNET News that he will go after the companies that advertise on the popular BitTorrent tracker and that he will be involved an investigation into The Pirate Bay?s money streams.

This is not the first time the Web Sheriff, also known as John Giacobbi, clashes with The Pirate Bay. Some hilarious email correspondence is still available on The Pirate Bay?s legal threat page.

Bump.....

It was a pirate ship on the bay,
The kind that offers stolen booty galore.

It was a pirate ship on the bay,
Until an ambiguous singer decided "No more!"

isnt his name now "the artist"
or has he changed it back to prince

He changed his name because he got dicked in a Sony contract where they owned his name for a period of time. So, he 'restyled' himself until the contract was over. Pretty ballsy move.

Bumpity Bump ...this is a deathmatch to watch

I just downloaded Prince's disography.

i wonder if the "web sheriff" will continue to attempt to apply us laws to swedish company like he failed to do in the past

This is going to be one of the greatest things ever. Prince went so far as to find a loophole to change his name to some symbol and call himself a slave to block the Sony cock so I am sure he can find a damn way to shove his pecker into the pirate bay's booty vault.

is he not rich enough?

Your torrents belong to me now BITCH

prince just desrves to be pirated!

heavy metal breeders wouldnt go so far to call it even "gay music" :1orglaugh

Just do me a favor and if you support pirate bay or such business models please post here saying so.

You're an idiot.

How strange that there isn't a copyright law in Sweden? Is that right?

Prince is the new Lars Ulrich. He is even suing his fan sites, demanding payments for damages from them using his photos.

That websheriff dude is a total idiot. Just look at some of the mails posted on the PB. Actually anybody who uses a name like web sheriff doesnt sound too bright in the first place.

Seriously? What a prick. The piratebay is going to make him and "WebSherriff" look silly.

Maybe they will get further by attacking the advertisers though.

ya just like metallica did with napster... that worked out well.. fucking metallica losers... napster was the best music sharing site ever... itunes is good... but napster had everything.... the hardest to find trance, underground, club, hip hop... etc...

I'm still a little bitter.. :)

Skins versus blouses!

shut these assholes down so legit webmasters can put together legit sites that "have everything".... that is the way of the future...being able to find the most obscure niche and paying a token amount for it which would mostly find its way to the artists

I hope he wins big seriously.

and then we can all party like it's 1999.


FUCK PIRATE BAY YOU FUCKING THIEVING FUCKS

The Web Sheriff, also known as John Giacobbi is a big joke. I dealt with him in the past.

he is no prince in reallife :)

purple rain baby

Napster was all about piracy. Personally, I am glad to see it gone.

Of course there is. But the deal with torrent-sites is that the illegal content isn't stored on the server.
