Torrent site sues anti-piracy campaigners for copyright infringement

A move that sounds like it’s come straight out of a film, torrent website The Pirate Bay have sued anti-piracy group CIAPC for supposed copyright infringement.

The accusation comes as the campaigners redesigned their site as a mock-up of The Pirate Bay’s infamous layout, a move that their enemies didn’t take lightly.

The Pirate Bay released the following, more than slightly dry-humoured, statement:

“We are outraged by this behavior. People must understand what is right and wrong. Stealing material like this on the internet is a threat to economies worldwide. We feel that we must make a statement and therefore we will sure them for copyright infringement. If not even IFPI and their friends can respect copyright, perhaps it’s time to move on?”
