Actually, no you can’t compare the two. Everyone knows what a Doctor is, and while Latin medical terminology may be confusing at least most judges grasp some fundamentals; they may not be able to preform it, but they know what surgery is. What we are dealing with in the U.S. and other countries are judges who don’t even know what the internet is. Using that analogy it would be like a medical malpractice suit where the judge didn’t know what anesthesia or surgery was. From what I have read the more technically ignorant the judge the more they are likely to rule in favor or the RIAA/MPAA. A judge so clueless as to not even know what the web is should recuse himself and allow a younger, more tech savvy judge to take the case.

You could argue the same thing if the case involved medical terms.

if you’ve got judges that don’t even understand what a web site is, how the heck can people trying to defend themselves against an evil corp. like the riaa expected to get a fair deal?
