The judicial system in the Nordic countries which includes Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland is in many ways different from the other major systems, the Great Britain/North American judiciary that hails back to the Magna Carta of the middle ages and the French judiciary. Unlike the Magna Carta which for the most part was formulated to protect property (i.e. protect the feudal lords, ladies and nobless from the angry mobs and dissatisfied serfs), the Nordic laws originated in the Allthing of Iceland in the 11th century and are remarkably progressive even by today's standards. North American companies, like those trying to shoot down pirate bay are discovering the hard way that there are places in the world, like Sweden, where property rights and the rights of wealthy corporations are not the first priority of the courts, which instead emphasize justice and common sense. So good on piratebay and the Swedish judiciary and blooey phooey to the slanteye execs at Sony.
