Pirate Bay Legal Action Dropped In Norway

superapecommando writes "Copyright holders have given up legal efforts to force Norwegian ISP Telenor to block filesharing site The Pirate Bay, one of the parties to the case said. The copyright holders, led by Norway's performing rights society TONO and by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry Norway (IFPI Norge), have lost two rounds in the Norwegian court system, and have now decided against appealing the case to Norway's supreme court."

And lutfisk *shudder*

Lutefisk is indeed quite nasty, roughly on a par in nastiness with Finnish Mämmi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammi or Scottish haggis (I've tasted all of them, regrettably).

However, these are nothing on the Swedish "delicacy" Surströmming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstromming. Many apartment buildings in Sweden have rules preventing one from opening a can of the stuff anywhere in the building (which would become uninhabitable as the vapors spread through the ventilation system). My Swedish colleagues assert that it can only be consumed in tiny quantities, and then only after at least half a bottle of vodka, and potentially triggering an extended vomit.
