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.

    After racing events, the winner stands on the dais and sprays champagne over the audience before guzzling several mouthfuls himself. Who knows, maybe a day before the race he was living it up at the bar. But that doesn't mean he can't drive in the important race. His job is to drive well in the race, not necessarily before or after it.

    So if a judge is a professional, his connections with professional groups should only be a factor outside the courtroom. Inside the courtroom, justice is the goal.

    Get off Slashdot you moron. You talk to an invisible man in the sky.

    People are committed to mental institutions for saying that they talk to invisible men in the sky. Dostoevsky called them "God's fools". Why take a storybook and believe only the parts that you like? Your parents lied to you. Your god is as real as Santa Claus.

    Religious people should put loaded guns to their heads and pull the triggers -- God will forgive -- and they'll get to live in the clouds with their milk and their honey and their 72 virgins while saving the right-thinking folks a lot of hassle.

    Obviously, in /. universe, a judge who respects the law of copyright is biased. In other, alternative, universes judges who respect the law are respected.

    Looks even more like a dong on the euro coins

    That reminds me - am I the only one in the world that thinks the Amazon logo contains a representation of an erect human phallus?

    No? Hm.
