“Then “The Promo Bay” or someone acting on their behalf would need to take this to Court to have a Judge order an unblock”

Just ask for a judicial review, no need for petitions. The blocks are blatantly illegal in multiple ways – not least they’re anti-competitive. Personally I’d file a complaint with the Competition Commission while I was at it. We really need an effective equivalent to the EFF in the UK – if I win the lottery I’ll happily fund it ;)

If by “different” you mean “Yes, posting a unique NAME for a media file makes the NAME illegal to mention” then yes, things work differently.

On whatever alternate reality you come from, anyway. Here on earth, posting a string of 20 digits doesn’t mean you perform an illegal act.

It’s not their serbian reggae.

Hence they don’t like it.

> "whatever planet you are from, welcome to earth, things are different here" Oh, i see, with that personal attack you wanted to prove your ignorance, and at the same time plea for an education? Don't worry, i'll gladly help you!! Are you ready? Here we go! > "Promo Bay hosts only legal content." This claim is factual. Promo Bay host only torrent files, and torrent files are not a creative work, torrent files are not copyrighted, and no court has ever deemed a torrent file to be illegal. > "Pirate Bay hosts only legal content." This claim is factual. Pirate Bay host only torrent files, and torrent files are not a creative work, torrent files are not copyrighted, and no court has ever deemed a torrent file to be illegal. > "People pointing out facts are jerks?" Well, i repeat that question. Your claims were false, and when facts are brought to the table out regarding your misconceptions, you claim they are jerks? What would that make you, since you're the one making incorrect claims? A super jerk? > "All torrents are legal. There's not one single judicial system in the world that says torrents are illegal." This claim is also factual, exactly as it is written. Torrent files are fully legal. I don't think i can explain in any more clearer? So, are we done? Did you get it this time? Or is our actual reality here on earth to hard to grasp for you?
