Gnutiken - International GNU Cooperative Sweden
,----[ Quote ]
| Since I ended my internship with the FSFE in May, my main priority has been
| the establishing of a Free Software cooperative in GÃteborg. The result is
| about to unfold itself, and itâs name is Gnutiken, or âthe Gnutiqueâ if you
| want to be English about it. Together with two of my favourite hackers,
| Jeremiah Foster and Patrik Willard, I have been able to establish a
| for-profit NGO (ekonomisk fÃrening), and spent a lot of time wading through
| all the bureaucratic windings needed to start a business. I am now happy to
| say that we are about to launch. We have found a nice shop in central
| GÃteborg and are awaiting the last formal answers to some of our
| applications.

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.

| and claims to have evidence that NorstrÃm wasnât assigned to the case
| randomly, as should be the case according to court procedure.

Pirate Bay Verdict May Actually Lead To Pirate Party Official Joining European
Parliament
,----[ Quote ]
| While the entertainment industry still really seems to think that the
| disputed verdict in the Pirate Bay trial was a victory, most folks who can
| look beyond the immediate ruling have recognized what a horrific loss this
| has been for the industry. On the technology side, it's done nothing of
| importance.
