Three judges are currently reviewing the judge that handled the Pirate Bay trial to discover if he was biased or not. No decision has yet been made but the New York Times and several other publications report inaccuracies and plain wrongs that claim otherwise. Time to get the facts straight.
Pirate Bay judge Tomas Norström’s objectivity has been called into doubt by the defense lawyers because of his ties to national and international pro-copyright lobby groups. To investigate these accusations of bias, the appeal court appointed a judge, Ulrika Ihrfelt.
Her task is to decide whether or not Norström’s verdict could have been biased since this issue must be resolved before they can move on to the appeal request.
