This is clearly a conflict of interests. And a judge does not need the have “knowledge of copyright legislation issues”; he should call independent expert witnesses for that.

That is so easy to say that you are not biased, but so hard to prove. Mainly when you are a member of the Swedish Association of Copyright (SFU). They is no f*cking way he is unbiased. Right now it is like saying : ” Oh Hitler? Yeah he was unbiased, you cannot say he was biased just because he killed all those Jews…Hitler was fair”. A fair trial would have led to a complete opposite end.

This article forgetts one of the most important points; that one of the organizations (can’t remember which one) has a stated aim of strengthening copyright legislation. So much for just reading up on the law. They wouldn’t have said the same if he was a member of PiratbyrÃ¥n.

What chance would a judge have of being declared “impartial” in a copyright case if his membership in the Pirate Party had surfaced?

If this judge was a member of the Nazi party and/or the KKK and the defendants were Jewish/black then it would be ok and not biased?

“On the contrary, the court argues, it is imperative that judges remain abreast of the issues.”

Ok, but how many organizations on the other side of the argument is he a member of? If he’s only a member of organizations on one side of the argument, he’s biased.
