When the developers of the Sweden-based peer-to-peer file-sharing site The Pirate Bay added 'Share on Facebook' links to each of the torrents available for download from their site, the administrators of the social networking site were less than amused.It seems that Facebook initially asked the site to remove the links, but when no response was received, started to directly block all links to The Pirate Bay, whether or not they were pointing at torrents containing illegal content.
For the time being, however, the ban has not yet affected a number of other large BitTorrent sites, some of which use the same 'Share on Facebook' links as The Pirate Bay.
