Oh the irony (part II).

Is there no end to the pathetic flailings of The Pirate Bay™?

Their latest rant as reported by the lackeys over at Torrent Freak is that they are pissed at someone infringing on their copyright.

Pardon us all over the place but we seem to recall Peter Sunde emailing us personally to let us know that there was no such thing as "disrespecting their copyright" when we laid claim to a fair rights usage of same.

It's funny that since we forced their hand to admit that they were seeking to commercialize The Pirate Bay™ brand they've suddenly become very interested in, and protective of, copyright to the point that they are now threatening to sue a Swedish company for use of their logo.

It must be due to the fact that it has the potential to cost them even more millions in lost potential revenue in the event that they ever manage to sell the brand on - despite the very public humiliation they suffered over the failed sale to the GGF.

It's not entirely surprising that nobody at either Torrent Freak or The Pirate Bay™ has produced a report saying that someone else using your brand does not cause you commercial harm.

Perhaps they're starting to get the picture?

Update:

The company in question, following "discussions" with the "ex" Pirate Bay™ spokesman Peter Sunde, have decided to revoke their patent application and have reached an agreement as to how they can still use The Pirate Bay™ logo on their usb pens.

Bizarre!! Here we have an ex spokesperson brokering a licencing deal for a brand that he purportedly has nothing to do with since selling it to some "unknown" company "probably" based in the Seychelles some three years ago - according to him in various court statements.

I sincerely hope the judiciary involved in his appeal are paying attention - cheers Torrent Freak.

Of course this decision has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the planned DDOS attacks as announced on Torrent Freak.

"Internazis" - I think that's what you'd call 'em.
