(no matter if that truth is good or bad for the "copylefters") or did not lived up to their arrangements they had made with a TPB guy how a TV debate would be setup.<BR/><BR/>In a posting (*) regarding that press conference they state among other things:<BR/><I>"Even more rude was that a reporter and a photographer from the Swedish TV4 showed up, even though we already told them they weren’t welcome.

Here you go:<BR/><BR/><I>“EU directive 2000/31/EG says that he who provides an information service is not responsible for the information that is being transferred. In order to be responsible, the service provider must initiate the transfer. But the admins of The Pirate Bay don’t initiate transfers. It’s the users that do and they are physically identifiable people. They call themselves names like King Kong,” Samuelsson told the court.<BR/><BR/>“According to legal procedure, the accusations must be against an individual and there must be a close tie between the perpetrators of a crime and those who are assisting. This tie has not been shown. The prosecutor must show that Carl Lundström personally has interacted with the user King Kong, who may very well be found in the jungles of Cambodia,” the lawyer added.</I> <BR/>via torrentfreak<BR/><BR/>Oh, and before you claim it's the lawyer for the defendant (the "right wing"-guy defendent whose grandpa is the founder of the wasa bread imperium. You might have heard of wasa? This guy surely has enough money to buy all the entertainment media he desires, he does not need to "songlift" them); the prosecutor himself stated in internal memos to the ministry of justice roughly half a year before the 2006 raid that what tpb does is not enough to have them hault into court. <BR/><BR/>https://thepiratebay.org/user/KingKong/<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasabr%C3%B6d<BR/>http://torrentfreak.com/g-defense-090218/Alter_Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861406779872744163noreply@blogger.com
