Judge In Pirate Bay Trial Biased
maglo writes "The judge who handed down the harsh sentence to the four accused in the The Pirate Bay trial was biased, writes Sveriges Radio (Sweden Public Radio): sr.se (swedish). Google translation. The judge is member of two copyright lobby organizations, something he shares with several of the prosecutor attorneys (Monique Wadsted, Henrik Pontén and Peter Danowsky). The organizations in question are Svenska Föreningen för Upphovsrätt (SFU) and Svenska föreningen för industriellt rättsskydd (SFIR)."
Slashdot still fails at UTF8.
FÃIL!!!
I move for a bad court thingie!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Looks like the Swedish court system is rotten. Next thing you know, couple of judges will open a private juvenile detention facility, rule the government detention facility to be inadequate, harshly punish all juveniles appearing before them to long detentions, send them to their own private detention facility, bill the government for millions of dollars, and whoop it up in some Caribbean island. Nah. The Swedes better look up at the American Judicial System (TM), The Best Justice Money Can Buy.
sed -e 's/Chuck Norris/Rajnikant/g' joke > fact
he joins lots of organisations so he has another piece of paper to hang on the wall.
I bet THAT was heard a lot in Nuremberg 60 years ago.
Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens
bias or not, I think its interesting that he, possible the only judge in Sweden that is a member of both these organizations got to be the judge in this case.

Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
>Then again, maybe the laws in Sweden are different?
Surely not? I thought US law was global?

Henrik Pont©n - Lawyer at Swedish anti-piracy organisation.
I find it funny that a copyright symbol shows up in his name when it fails the notorious great UTF support of slashdot...

Occam's Razor is that the simplest answer is true,
Occam's Razor says that the explanation of a phenomena should make as few assumptions as possible.
Yadda yadda, Occam's Toothbrush says that the simplest definition is true.
You just got troll'd!
The judge drives like this.
The plaintiff drives like this.
The defendant drives like this.
Because there's just not enough ammunition to get rid of 'em all.
It's because the laws allow it. We just need to get some lobbyists to help us change those laws!
