Judge Reviewing Pirate Bay Trial Bias Is Removed
oh-my-god sends word that the Swedish judge assigned to review whether the trial judge in the Pirate Bay trial was biased has now been removed — for bias. Here's a local news account in Swedish, which Google fails to translate. We've discussed the convolutions of this case on more than one occasion.
Bork Bork Bork !!!
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
I kind of wish you had waited to RTFA, me.
I don't believe in time. It's a grand conspiracy designed to sell watches.
Is it me? Or do Norway and Sweden look like a two headed flacid penis?
We apologise again for the fault with the judges. Those
responsible for sacking the judges who have just been sacked
have been sacked.

...and the trial will be completed at the very last minute and at great expense. (cue llamas)
Are they trying to make their legal system look like a circus? If they are, they're succeeding, in spades.
Ha! They'll never make their legal system look more like a circus than ours! U-S-A !!! U-S-A !!! U-S-A !!!

hahaha, I literally just spent 3 minutes trying to figure out why the ", me." was there. /facepalm

Presumably, you can get all the information you need from the Wired story. I wouldn't know of course, because as a Slashdotter I have a pathological aversion to reading the articles.
Wait ... there are articles on this site?
My blog
Yes, I know where I'm posting.
But man, you watch too much porn.
And apparently freaky stuff, too.....
"City hall" in German is "Rathaus" Kinda explains a few things......
Natural Justice?
Is that where the lions that team up to bully those poor baby oxen on YouTube get chased into a river full of crocs by the vengful herd?
Yes, yes.

I believe him, no citation needed.
If both legal systems are part of the same circus than the Swedish system is the clown car where another clown keeps getting out of the car just when you think it's empty and the US system is the rampaging elephant that tramples the audience.
Are you kidding me?! Free cruises?! Free country clubs?? Fuck no! They're giving them free downloads....
This sig will self destruct in 5 seconds.
Did somebady say jÃvsfrÃ¥gan?
Sometimes, life itself is sarcasm...
The US has Florida; area, 170,304 km^2.
Europe has Norway and Sweden; total area, 835,216 km^2.
Is it any wonder we're so obsessed with having guns over here?
That activity is not considered wrong in my culture.

I thought Norway WAS Sweden.
You know, like Holland and Deutschland. Damned Dutch. Good waffles though.
Wait - you mean in Sweden, defendants can rest assured that any impartiality, unfairness, or political influence on the part of the justice system will be discovered and corrected before they are railroaded into prison and forgotten about? I'd heard that all the women there are bisexual and made of nachos, but this truly is incredible news. Can I be Swedish? Please?
They're not. The original article linked in the slashdot summary reads:

New judges in Pirate Bay
Court of appeal replaces the newly the occupied judge in Pirate Bay. The question about the district court been jävig is decided now of three judges from another department.
It can for my information be mentioned that neither these is or has been members in someone of the associations that are current in the objective, the court of appeal types in a pressure message.
After information about that the newly the occupied court of appeal judge in Pirate Bay earlier been member in same copyright association that it jävsanklagade the district court judge, the President, the Court of Appeal was requested yesterday to examine unless another off the court's departments should decide jävsfrågan.
Today came beslutet: The appointed Judge of Appeal Ulrika Ihrfelt, that works on the department that has special direction on copyright and immaterialrättsliga objectives, may not sentence in the question about the district court been jävig.
Instead comes jävsfrågan to be moved to another off the court of appeal's departments and where to be examined o

If yours looks like that, I'd suggest seeking medical attention.
