Norwegian Court Rules ISP Doesn't Have To Block The Pirate Bay
C4st13v4n14 writes "In a sudden outbreak of uncommon sense yesterday, a Norwegian District Court handed down the decision that Telenor, Norway's largest ISP, will not have to block access to The Pirate Bay. Telenor was sued earlier this year by the IFPI after being threatened and not backing down. 'The court ruled that Telenor is not contributing to any infringements of copyright law when its subscribers use The Pirate Bay, and therefore there is no legal basis for forcing the ISP to block access to the site. ... In making its decision, the court also had to examine the repercussions if it ruled that Telenor and other ISPs had to block access to certain websites.'"
It sounds like you live somewhere out in the sticks and have not been able to fit in. You almost sound a little bitter.
I have lived in Oslo for the past ten years and what you are describing is unfamiliar to me. It's like I should move to Arkansas and write a generalization of the US based on my experiences there.
Specifically; .. What does that even mean? Are you talking about the welfare state?
- The women are often very hot and generally take good care of themselves. But they can be quite stuck up and demanding.
- It is not true that they were just uneducated farmers before the oil. They had one of the worlds largest fleets long before that.
- It is true that the prices are high, but not compared to their income. Their PPP is one of the highest in the world.
- Most people dont want the EU because the country is so wealthy there is very little the EU can offer. I dont think Xenophoby comes into it
- "They invested a lot of money in socialism"
- "This is because Norway generally bans everything and brainwashes its people to become suspicious little watch dogs." - I cant think what you mean with this. Norwat is pretty liberal compared to the country you come from. (Except for alcohol and speed limits)
