The Pirate Bay has announced that it will file a complaint to ask for compensation from the IFPI for the traffic which was destined for its site, but blocked by the Danish ISP Tele2. If they win, the money will be spent on funding independent artists who share their music for free on filesharing sites.
In February, a Danish court ordered the ISP “Tele2″ to block its customers from accessing The Pirate Bay. The decision, which is currently under appeal, once again heated the debate on ISPs Internet filtering.
Pirate Bay’s Brokep told TorrentFreak that they will file a complaint, and ask for compensation for the time they were blocked in Denmark. The Pirate Bay already fought back by launching The Jesper Bay, giving affected customers detailed instructions on how to regain access to The Pirate Bay. However, they think that it is only fair to ask compensation for the inconvenience the IFPI block has cost .
