The Pirate Bay file-sharing web entity has been told by a Dutch court to remove links to copyright material.

The court has ordered Pirate Bay to remove all links to material by Netherlands-based music and film makers.

The lawsuit, brought by copyright protection body, Stichting Brein, means Pirate Bay's founders, Frederik Neij and Gottfrid Svartholmmen, could face hefty fines if choose not to comply.

Neij and Svartholmmen have claimed they no longer have control over the site as it has been sold.

The Pirate Bay allows people to share music, films and games files through peer-to-peer links, with none of the material sitting on the site's servers.
