Slashdot Mirror
DVD-Jon Completely Clear
A reader writes: "The case against DVD-Jon was finally ended today. DVD-Jon won the first trial on the 6th of January 2003. The Norwegian Okokrim appealed but Jon also won the new trial the 22. December. It was expected that Okokrim would appeal this decission to the Supreme Court, but today Nettavisen is reporting that Okokrim have decided not to pursue the case further. No news in English yet, but they will probably be there soon. I guess the news will be on in English soon." Okokrim is the Norwegian equivalent to the RIAA here in the States - and yes, Virginia, this means DVD back-up is fully legal in Norway. Spelling updates - thanks, Disillusioned.
Please reschedule Norway and Belgium ahead of Syria and Iraq. Thanks.

It coulda been worse, though - if he had been found guilty, they would have sent him out to sea in a burning ship...

I just bought a DVD+Jon writer!
This Norway is sounding like a pretty good place to be. Too bad it's in, like, Norway.
Im an English speaker so I'd rather see a Norwegian translate it.
But what the hell, why not let Swedes read it too.
I tried to help, but unfortunately Opera doesn't seem to be mirroring the Bork Edition any more.
Never confuse volume with power.
- that they will be going after VHS Lars next..

I'm always happy to help out a fellow slashdotter. Here is the article translated;

He'll outgrow it. Mine used to do this too, but he stopped somewhere around the time he turned 24.
He said he doesn't like the videotapes as much, but then again he never did enjoy serial.
My kid chews disks too. I keep dummy disks in the DVD like "Titanic" just for him.
Post: Sigged, for your pleasure.

This is completely off-topic, but while reading the DVD-Jon story on Aftenposten (yes, I read the stories, there goes my karma), I browsed some of the other stories, and:
Did you know that Norway leads the world in both per-capita porn consumption *and* per-capita deodorant use?
Is there a connection between the two? I have no idea. I simply know that I must move to Oslo someday. It's calling my name.
He'll outgrow it. Mine used to do this too, but he stopped somewhere around the time he turned 24.
He stopped at 24? Wow. How did he ever get through high school and college with this habit?
Personally, I've never liked DVDs. Too many pits. Plus the idea of eating a WORM just turns me off.
Let me guess, you're an American?
For god's sake man, you must grow yourself a spine and cure the child of this habbit. The next time he starts gnawing on your movie collection simply lock him in a room with a box of 100 blank DVDs. Then tell the boy that he's to stay there until he's eaten every last one of them... and the box. He'll think twice before chewing disks again, I can tell you!
Code, Hardware, stuff like that.
I think RIAA has his name as "Writer of Wrongs"...
