The Pirate Bay Ordered To Block Dutch Users

secmartin writes "In a totally unexpected ruling, a Dutch court has decided that The Pirate Bay should block visitors from the Netherlands within 10 days or face a fine of €30,000 per defendant per day. Peter Sunde has already announced that he will appeal the ruling. Even though the defendants sent a letter explaining that they were unable to come to the hearing and provided arguments in their favor, these were ignored by the judge because they failed to appear in his court. The full text of the ruling was just published (in Dutch, PDF) by Peter Sunde, and further coverage is available at Forbes."

activist judges on our Supreme Court, such as Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Roberts, have overturned an unprecedented number of laws implemented by Congress and signed by the president

Thats what happens when you put conservatives in positions of power - they use it to push their own beliefs and agenda even if it goes against the will of the majority of the people.
