The Pirate Bay Takes Over Anti-Piracy Domain : IFPI.com
In yet another snub to anti-piracy efforts, infamous Swedish BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay has taken over IFPI.com, a domain formerly owned by the recording industry group by the same name. IFPI, previously known as the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, pushes for anti-piracy enforcement in 75 countries.
The Pirate Bay, the world’s largest torrent tracker has taken up a surprising new residence. The site, which hosts over 630,000 torrents, moved aboard the domain ifpi.com, which formerly belonged to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
While many may be unfamiliar with the IFPI, its work is familiar to many. The IFPI is the parent organization of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
The IFPI has been a champion of lawsuits against internet pirates, increasing the scope of copyright laws and developing DRM technologies to stop users from copying their songs or media. Its actions have been mirrored by its lower level affiliates such as the RIAA.
The group, one of the world’s leading BitTorrent trackers, has hoisted its flag over the IFIP.com domain.
The address was, until recently, owned by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), an industry body representing the recording industry worldwide.
In an interview with the Torrentfreak blog, the Pirate Bay team said it would use the domain to host a site for the International Federation of Pirate Interests (alsoIFPI), a newly formed organisation dedicated to spreading the word about piracy.

Amazon.com entering the payment processor market (Amazon FPS) : Paypal worry ?
Amazon is the oldest and probably only head-on competitor of ebay.com . Recently Amazon announced a service aimed at developers to integrate into their site/application, a payment processor which the popular ebay company, paypal does.
Amazon FPS Functionality
You can use the extensive feature set of Amazon FPS to conduct a wide variety of transactions under virtually any set of constraints. Key features include:
- Send and receive money using credit card, bank account or Amazon Payments balance transfer as payment methods.
- Create “Payment Instructions” to define conditions and constraints desired for a given transaction, and programmatically obtain payment authorizations or “tokens” that represent these Payment Instructions from customers.
- Execute one-time, multiple, or recurring payments on behalf of customers.
- Aggregate micro-transactions into a single larger transaction using Prepaid and Postpaid capabilities.
- Build payment applications where you are neither the sender nor the recipient of funds. You can build marketplace applications that enable the movement of money between two third parties. View account balances, transaction histories, and transaction details on the Amazon Payments web site.
- Utilize the Amazon FPS sandbox to build and test applications without using real money or incurring any transaction charges.
Amazon Flexible Payments Service (Amazon FPS) is the first payments service designed from the ground up specifically for developers. The set of web services APIs allows the movement of money between any two entities, humans or computers. It is built on top of Amazon’s reliable and scalable payment infrastructure.
