The way the Norwegian law sounds is that the claim gives Sony an automatic temporary injunction while the matter is clarified, which doesn't seem completely unreasonable.
The question then would be on who is it incumbent to prove whether an infringement took place or not, and whether there is a penalty for making false claims.
- ErrantX 16y agoJust for those interested in the relevant law... Sony sent a DMCA takedown, which is purely US law. But the EU has implemented EUCD (EU Copyright Directive) which, for practical discussion, does much the same thing. I think that is what they referred to when taking down the content.

- ErrantX 16y agoAhem, oops. :( That was a silly basic error, sorry. EDIT: my Norwegian is non-existant but as far as I can make out they have their own equivilant (to the EUCD and DMCA) implementation of the WIPO treaties.
- guruz 16y agoIt's not only EU membership what counts, there is a lot of other Europe-wide agreements or even bi-literal agreements between US and Norway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Economic_Area http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Economic_Area http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Free_Trade_Association http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Free_Trade_Association
