I tried to follow the "fact" that the legal counsel was forcibly subjected to DNA registration, and the link went to the Wikipedia entry for the Pirate Bay raid. Which then linked out the reference for that specific "fact" to a blog that no longer exists. And this was the law student's (the referred-to "legal counsel") blog. Not exactly great.
Also the notion that the Judge in this case somehow picked himself and was corrupt to the bone was completely disproven the last time that site made the front-page on HN on the subject (in the comments section of the article - probably deleted later on).
- Falkvinge 14y agoYou're thinking of another judge, in the Netherlands. I haven't written in English about this subject before AFAIK.
- powertower 14y agoNow that I think about it, you're right, it was the Netherlands judge story. My fault.
- Falkvinge 14y agoSorry if I sounded aggressive in my terse response. I frequently publish a story when I'm 98% sure - pretty much every single time, the details will fill in as people come to visit and add it to the comments field, frequently enough enriching the story beyond what I first thought. That one time, it didn't, and I'm still somewhat bitter over my misjudgement. Cheers, Rick
