==================================

 WD> Overhere then we don't seem to know what happens here, we don't know our
 WD> own laws, we are ignorant of how our own courts work. The US spokesperson
 WD> is then by definition, it seems, the authorative source of knowledge.
 WD> Culture difference, language difference, distance suddenly don't seem to
 WD> matter.

That's just what I'm trying to tell him as well.
We don't hate the American people, we just don't like to be told what's best
for
us by someone that hasn't a Clue<tm> what it's all about.

 WD> You know, going back to this "Swedish bust" ... it is considered so
 WD> unimportant here it didn't even make the news, I had to learn about it via
 WD> Fidonet and then look further.

Our Minister for Justice have said that he didn't have anything to do with the
"bust" but he doesn't sound very convincing though.
Someone must have told the police to do that "bust". They don't operate on
their own like that.

 WD> "Trying to hide things, huh?" some will respond. Not at all, it is an
 WD> irrelevant thing in the overal grand picture and having read many sources
 WD> now about what went on I don't think there will ever be a conviction. I
 WD> wonder if it ever will see the inside of a courtroom. After many years of
 WD> gathering dust it will be just thrown-out as "lacking merrit" but the
 WD> purpose of the media-industry will have been served anyway ...

 WD> And if one is not convicted, then one is innocent.

A spokesman for Piratebay just said that they are getting mails from all over
the world and everyone want's to help, either with money or with legal help.
New servers are soon up and running and now they will be spread all over
the world.
