Casual piracy is a multi-billion-dollar mess for the music industry, and an issue that may never get resolved. But major labels, Hollywood, and other major media companies have someserious enemies, often with unknown and completely untraceable identities. And, ones that are motivated to take extreme measures to disrupt, cause harm, and frustrate.
That includes a splinter of the Pirate Bay, which is now taking the offensive. And, this relatively small group that is preparing a serious attack ahead. Looks like the action will be happening at 'The Music Bay,' at themusicbay.org, where one source was throwing some serious threats. “The music industry can't even imagine what we're planning to roll out in the coming months," the Pirate Bay activist told TorrentFreak. “For years they've complained bitterly about piracy, but if they ever had a reason to be scared it is now."
This is part of a growing warzone against groups like the RIAA, one whose boundaries stretch beyond the reach of legislators, lobbyists, consumers, and even ISPs. Just recently, the operators of 4chan launched some incredibly powerful attacks against the RIAA, MPAA, and even Gene Simmons.
But do labels deserve this? Actually, the latest 'Bay' is being targeted at the IFPI, which celebrates its 78th birthday in April. Certainly, the IFPI, RIAA, and the majors are great at pissing people off—that part is obvious—but now that the damage is done, the question is whether this is simply an uncontrollable animal—deserved or not.
Get ready.
