The King Kong defense

A newly coined term has been minted by Carl Lindström‘s attorney: the King Kong defense.

“According to legal procedure, the accusations must be against an individual and there must be a close tie between the perpetrators of a crime and those who are assisting. This tie has not been shown. The prosecutor must show that Carl Lundström personally has interacted with the user King Kong, who may very well be found in the jungles of Cambodia,” the lawyer added.

While it’s obvious what is going on with torrent sites all over the Internet, megacorporations have just fallen behind with technology plain and simple. It’s only day three of the trial, and the Pirate Bay’s defense seems bulletproof. If they were to book them on charges, they’ll have to connect them to a direct criminal act of infringement, as the RIAA, MPAA, etc. are trying to do. What never ceases to amaze me is Peter Sunde, one third of the Pirate Bay facilitators, and his piss-in-the-wind attitude in the face of scary conglomerates.

Peter said that after today’s proceedings they all went for some pizza, where they met the whole opposing side. He asked if they could pick up the check. “They refused,” he said.
