RECAP Used To Show Vacated Rulings That A Judge Wanted Gone
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week, we wrote about the launch of RECAP, a neat little tool for making
| sure that more public domain court rulings are actually accessible to the
| public (what a concept). Apparently, the tool is already useful. Thomas
| O'Toole points us to the news of someone who used RECAP to point to rulings
| that were vacated and then (oddly) ordered to be removed from various
| databases.

Swedish Appeals Court Denies Pirate Bay Retrial -- Says No Bias By Judge
,----[ Quote ]
| The Swedish appeals court charged with looking into whether or not the judge
| in the original trial against The Pirate Bay was biased, has said they found
| no bias (for real, this time) with the judge, despite his belonging to two
| groups that have pushed for stronger copyright laws -- and the fact that the
| prosecutors' lawyers were involved in that organization as well. Apparently,
| the court says the judge should have brought this information to light
| sooner, but otherwise said it was no big deal.

| doubt because of his ties to national and international pro-copyright lobby
| groups. Now, one of the defense lawyers says he has uncovered another scandal
| and claims to have evidence that NorstrÃm wasnât assigned to the case
| randomly, as should be the case according to court procedure.
