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)."
Occam's Razor is that the simplest answer is true, to me that's simply he's like every other professional - he joins lots of organisations so he has another piece of paper to hang on the wall. if he activly partisipates that's a different matter.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
It's amazingly bad that a site can't handle UTF-8 in 2009. It easy as hell to fix, but apparently Slashdot is run by ignorant American bastards who don't give a shit about their international members or even comments on international news.
If I find a similar site that don't treat us like weeds, I'll ditch Slashdot.
So an American run site funded by American organizations shouldn't be focused on America?
