Johansen Prosecutors Appeal

Posted by michael on from the only-the-lawyers-win dept.

kmitnick writes "Jon Johansen will be back in court, tried again in an appeals court, because Hollywood knows better than the Norwegian legal system." Norway's legal system is different than the U.S.; the government can appeal a loss in a criminal case.

    some good points. And maybe somebody cared.

    But the jingoist u.s. mf's sure didn't, because their judicial system is the best. Why else would they try imposing it on everybody else?

    Right now I'm downloading a screener, or please, god, let it be a screener copy, of the Two Towers off of Kazaa.

    Now, I've already seen this movie twice in the theaters. So, according to the MPAA, after this, even with the DVD release, they will see no more $ from me, right?

    Well, oddly enough, I downloaded a screener of Fellowship of the Ring as well, and right here beside my computer, is not only the original wide screen release of LOTR: Fellowship of the Rings, but ALSO the deluxe extended edition. Doh! =)

    As such, I also plan on going and buying both editions of the DVD again when they release it. Why, you ask, oh callow MPAA? BECAUSE I DON'T MIND GIVING SUPPORT OT MOVIES THAT DON'T SUCK FLAMING DONKEY BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *achem*

    Anyway, its Kazaa, so as far as I know I may be currently downloading a copy of The Piano*shudder*, but, you rolls dem dice.....

    Pfft that means there has to be trial first, and ashcroft/bush's reich have already dealt with that little problem, now that anyone can be a terrorist and as we all know terrorists have no rights and get no trials; burn the witch!!

    hell they block off roads and search through peoples cars at will in some states (although this was fought and deemed unconstitutional in indiana, thanks to the aclu, i hear of it happening elsewhere) (what no seatbelt? that's a paddl'n)

    who the fuck told these people that we need them to be our parents?
