Judge Reviewing Pirate Bay Trial Bias Is Removed

Posted by kdawson on from the turtles-all-the-way-up dept.

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.

    I think we all saw this one coming. I'm suprised though that it happened so fast.

  3. Somewhat OT, Concerning DMCA and p2p software by dyingtolive · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Maybe this has come up before, and I apologize for being off topic, but has anyone proposed the idea of a p2p network where the clients are licensed under a relatively open licensing, but have caveats in there denying that they can be used by specific groups? Not a lawyer and not very knowledgeable on how this stuff works, but it seems like if you could explicitly define what the **AA does to find the infringers is not permitted as acceptable use of the software, then I would think you might be able to hit them with DMCA complaints / C&D letters when they do.
