   Monique Wadsted tried to shout down the judge, but that didn’t really help much. 

   After the lunch break IFPI’s lawyer Peter Danowsky continues Fredrik’s questioning. He tries to pin something on
   him, but Fredrik points out that the email he’s referring to is a reply, and that the quotes mean that he didn’t write that part of the email.

    Around 4 PM the Prosecutor announced that he wanted to bring in additional evidence, some actual torrent files on a 
    diskette (he probably meant CD).

Where do these guys find these people? First they had a lawyer who didn't even know about p2p technology. Then they have a woman who has no respect for the judge. Then they had a lawyer who doesn't even know email.And another who doesn't even know CDs.

Does Pirate Bay have an inside man at RIAA/MPAA who made sure to hire the most incompetent lawyers he could find?

I especially appreciated the part about the lawyer not understanding what an email reply was.

Yeah, I first thought that tpb was just trying to get get media attention by declaring that the trial was a spectacle. I mean, this is probably one of the most important trials concerning copyright and filesharing today. But the prosecution really has no idea what they are doing. It's kind of funny. You'd think that the MPAA would choose a lawyer who is actually somewhat familiar with technology.

I'm finding the best way to read these articles on this trial now, is with the Benny Hill theme song playing in the background.

Try it - it works.
