This makes me think that this is accepted within the Court environment. This is certainly not a reflection from me as part of the public. chis, I agree that judgment of a persons appearance and opinions are unavoidable but flagrant asking about is a Court is disturbing. In general listening to the questions from the Prosecutor and the plaintiff's lawyers - what on earth are the charges? Unclear to say the least.

In general listening to the questions from the Prosecutor and the plaintiff’s lawyers – what on earth are the charges? Unclear to say the least.

On one hand, I would love to see the Pirate Bay members speak loudly and proudly about there politics concerning the 'industry', on the other hand, I hope they keep their cool and make sure they don't jeopardise the case by letting the sleazebag Prosecutor bait them. Thanks for doing this translation this week Sofia, I've really appreciated it.

Thats obvious because they are loosing the case. Liked the way Brokep handled himself to all questions. Thanks for translating. I heard u wont be doing next week. :( Thats understandable though.

I mean they did not really try to prove that TPB did something illegal... Dunno if political opinions should be discussed when there is relevance to the trial and politics could be motivation.

A political opinion is just that, an opinion. And as far as I know, you're free to have any opinion on any matter. Being against a law doesn't imply you're actively trying to break or circumvent it. And having to state your opinions like that is unacceptable when, as you said, you're judged for what you've done, not what you think. Keep up the good work covering this trial, it's really important and means a lot! Couldn’t agree more. A political opinion is just that, an opinion.
