TPB: Court Rules Judge Not Biased, Lawsuit Ensues

[Platypus]

Prosecutor: "They stole music and uploaded it to their servers!"

Judge: "I HATE it when people do that!"

Defense: "When we launched our servers, there was nothing on them at all. Everything you find on TPB is there because of our users. Think of us as just a random hard drive sitting on the internet."

Prosecutor: "Liars!"

Judge: "GUILTY!!!!!!!"

Meh, sucks for the TPB guys but what did they expect? A bunch of crusty old men who have no idea how things work anymore aren't qualified to make technical decisions like this.

In the end it affects neither me nor piracy, I'll still be able to get what I want when I want it whether or not I want to pay for it. Always.

Always.

That rule proves that the court was biased as well ;-)

So much to justice... in times where you can buy sentences.

It all makes sense now. Judge Tomas Norström's association with the Swedish Copyright Association (and consequentially the entertainment industry) hasn't made him biased. Rather his bias has made him associate with the Swedish Copyright Association. No conflict of interest here.
