Which one sounds better?

IFPI – International Federation of the Phonographic Industry
IFPI – International Federation of Pirates Interests

The first option represents the recording industry (with popular names such as Akon, Nelly Furtado, and more), while the second option is related to the folks from Pirate Bay.

In the recent past, IFPI.com was owned by the “good” guys, but out of nowhere comes Pirate Bay and snatches the important domain name, leaving the real IFPI only with the .org extension.

Brokeup, one of the administrators at Pirate Bay, comments:

It’s not a hack. Someone just gave us the domain name. We have no idea how they got it, but it’s ours and we’re keeping it.

In the end, it seems like we are watching Soap Opera. How did TPB get a hold of the domain? Did it expire? Are we looking at sabotage?

PS – while doing some research about IFPI, I found a great domain name hosted by TPB – hey.mpaa.and.apb.bite.my.shiny.metal.ass.thepiratebay.org
