A Short Summary Following the Pirate Bay Trial
Dan B. writes "The Guardian has a nice piece wrapping up the trial in Sweden for the co-defendants in the P2P trial-of-the-decade, that of The Pirate Bay. 'Today, the defense lawyers summed up. It was a short trial and not a particularly merry one, but it could have far-reaching effects.' Surprisingly, when the defendants hit the stand they didn't bash copyright or take a libertarian approach; it all came back to the tried and tested formula for criminal defense, 'I am not responsible.'"
But then again, you never caught Bo and Luke Duke so you also have no ground to stand on. :)

Hmm say, out of curiosity, have you ever found the pot of gold?
I did, but the damn leprechaun advised me to invest it all into a diversified portfolio of AIG, Lehman Brothers, Circuit City and General Motors :(
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
I found a Gnome's pot of gold. Or thought I did. When I opened it up, it was just filled with underpants! WTF? >:/

So, you robbed the leprechaun and then asked him for investment advice?
I did.

Two car analogies in the same day, yay! :)
The real question is: how many of the judges download regularly from the Pirate Bay? My guess is at least one...
Haiku for you!
One kills innocent people, the other kills Prince and Madonna. Why would the distinction be so hard to understand?
- These characters were randomly selected.
I especially liked when he suggested it was the Pirate Bay's DUTY to assist the media companies in identifying links to copyrighted material.
... I expect the Spanish Inquisition ...
That is a clear demonstrable lie. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
And when I look at the 12 bozo's they'll probably select as "my peers". I think I'll take judge alone thank you.
Only people on juries are those too stupid to get out of jury duty (or actually want to do it ... as in do gooders anxious to lock you away).
Q:I was listening to a CD in Grip and it sounded horrible! What's up? A:Perhaps you are listening to country music
Your whole post is nothing but Lexicotarian talking points anyway.
Being a computer scientist means you tell people how computers should work, not that you know how they actually work.
Considering the bozos that TPB's tracker selects as my peers, I think there might be some poetic justice in that.

... and if all of those are against you, bang a juror. *ducks*

But what about their chefs? Surely those are American, right?
BTW did you notice by now, that the whole storyline is about a swedish case, as in swedish defendants, swedish plaintiffs, swedish judge, swedish court, swedish piratebay, and it's all in Sweden?
Wow. Talk about coincidence!
