I have to admit, it really is the most amusing thing I've run across in quite some time. :D
Haha finnish authorites blocked the site too... so they broke the law to steal the website's code! lol :mrgreen:
QuoteFinnish anti-piracy group CIAPC, known worldwide for tracking down a 9 year-old "pirate girl" and having her Winnie The Pooh laptop confiscated, launched a controversial campaign yesterday.
Well aren't they the big bunch of tough guys.

I swear this could be straight from the Onion! Imagine if they're actually forced to pay TPB. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
/face. "Yo dog, I heard you like to infringe copyrights, so we stole your shit while you're stealing shit." WTF people.
If CIAPC wont respect copyright, why should anyone else?
For those who've never seen it before, TPB is well known for making fun of copyright lawyers who send in legal threats. Makes for some hilarious reading.

Have you ever seen the threads on something awful where they do something similar, but with an imaginary lawyer called Leonard J. Crabs? Fucking hilarious.
http://www.somethingawful.com/hosted/crabs/ (http://www.somethingawful.com/hosted/crabs/)
QuoteLeonard Crabs has been practicing law ever since he was 15 years old and saw a friend wreck his bicycle into a tree. He successfully sued the owner of the tree for "gross negligence" and was awarded the sum of $15 million which he immediately spent on Pez and Hustler magazines. Now Leonard is much older and has expanded his operation to sue tree owners in over three states. He also handles various other accidents, whether they involve a tree or not. Although he prefers the tree ones much more.
HAHA

SA forums are one off payment for subscription, so I can't post URLs.
The angelfire website is here (yes, angelfire):

There's some legal threats that have been posted on the SA front page too, but I think they're old (but still funny):

If you read the "something awful vs state of New York", make sure to read through the emails that were published along with the legal document sent over to the site. They crack me up Everytime.
Ill be perusing. Thanks.
Update:
What may have started out as something of a joke is turning serious.
The CIAPC dared TPB to sue them:

In response, TPB reported CIAPC to the police:

Pompous anti-piracy bigots who tracked down a 9 year old girl for downloading music and made an example out of her now violate copyright themselves?
It was never a joke to me. I hope they get fucked with their pants on.

Agreed. There's taking a stand against something you object to, and then there's that.
