Pirate Bay Judge Exposed as Member of Pro-Copyright Groups

One of the four men convicted in The Pirate Bay trial is seeking to have his guilty verdict thrown out after learning that the judge in the trial is a member of two pro-copyright groups, including one whose membership includes entertainment industry representatives who argued in the case.

"It wasn't appropriate for him to take on this case," says Eric Bylander, senior lecturer in procedure law at Gothenburg University.
