Music industry announces more lawsuits

The international Federation for the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) announced 2100 legal cases.

New countries like Sweden, Switzerland, Argentina, Hong Kong and Singapore are “explored”. Especially Sweden, because it’s known as a save haven (bay) for Internet pirates.

“This is a shame for a country which has produced so much good music,” IFPI head John Kennedy, referring to ABBA, Ace of Base and The Cardigans.

I hope the guys from Piratebay don’t take it to personal.

By the way, do you know what N-DOTS means?… New Drug On The Streets, thats how the MPAA calls Pirated DVD’s nowadays
