Palpatin writes to let us know that The Pirate Bay has now taken up residence at IFPI.com, a domain once owned by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
The Pirate Bay says the site will now promote the International Federation of Pirates Interests.
IFPI can still be reached at ifpi.org.
Torrentfreak has up a brief interview with Brokep, one of the administrators of The Pirate Bay, who says: “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.”

It looks like those 5G and 5.5G iPods owners out there that have been feeling a little envious of the iPod classic’s slick new interface now have at least one option at their disposal to give their player a bit of a facelift, although it seems that only the most fearless need apply.
While it doesn’t go so far as to add the much-vaunted Cover Flow, the newly-released and entirely unofficial firmware hack (which ironically requires the Windows-only iPodWizard software) does seem to mimic most of the features in the latest interface, including the split screen design, and the revised now playing screen.
Not surprisingly, a number of users have reported that the hack has bricked their precious iPods, so you may want to reconsider your distaste for you iPod’s current interface — at least until all the kinks are worked out.
