Swedish appeals court rejects claim Pirate Bay judge was biased

article published on 25 June, 2009

The judge who presided over the now infamous Pirate Bay trial was not biased according to a ruling from Sweden's Court of Appeals. Defense lawyers alleged Judge Tomas Norstrom's membership in multiple organizations which advocate increasing the scope of copyright law should have disqualified him from hearing the Pirate Bay case.

Being a judge has almost as much to do with politics as being a politician. The more and more these companies get shelled by piracy groups and individuals, the more the judges & other lawmakers are going to find themselves in the cross hairs. Looks to me like they took the safe option, even if their decision was BS.

LoL, I find it quite funny.

The people behind TPB got hit with a fine for helping people to pirtae files, which is a part of the copyright laws in countries.

Now they can't hack having to pay a fine or the jail time now they are trying to sue for any reason, the idot's even showed the judge how to do the stuff as well, because they thought they were getting done for having pirate files on the server.

Of caurse the appeal will have been chucked out because they need to prove they aren't helping people to pirate files.

Whats happened for those who don't understand is that they have to prove people havn't been getting access to pirate files from the servers they own, which they are.
