michiexileIn the latest iteration, the ISP PRQ, who had all their entire server hall seized in the TPB-raid now have had their court hearing where they try to get their financial data and customer data back, in order to alert customers that the computers have been seized, and to get their tax return work among others in order.
During the hearing, Roswall, the prosecutor, spent time discussing bittorrent and networking in general (apparently without actually demonstrating knowledge about it), and argued that PRQ shouldn't get their equipment back since Piratbyrån and TPB are to be compared with Sinn Fein and IRA respectively.
Savour that for a moment. Discussing the sense in restrictive copyright legislation is equivalent with working for an independent state. Enabling filesharing is equivalent with armed resistance. How many died from filesharing last year? How many ever?
And even given that argument, idiotic and over the top as it is - what does this have to do with giving the ISP the chance to deal with their business?
