This is a most delightful movie, based on a play, which again was based on actual interviews. I trust all of my readers know of the Watergate scandal and Nixon, and will not go into that. What this movie does is try to reenact the Nixon/Frost interviews, where Nixon admitted to having broken the law.

What a hassle! I’m so busy it’s not even funny! But eventually school will be over! No matter how much it tries, there will be a point where the intensity can no longer be upped exponentially. I don’t know how many days exactly there are left, but this last week and a half has left me exhausted! Two mock exams last week in Norwegian, Biology this Monday, Physics Tuesday, and finally IT today. The term TGIF has never been more fitting. I swear, they do this on purpose.

Demonstrations are lovely things. People rise against in unison. Against what, you ask? This time it was the conclusion of the first Pirate Bay trial. Demonstrations are wonderful ways of letting everyone know that something is wrong somewhere. Of course they’re abused every now and then, and there’s always someone who wants to abuse them all, but the concept is still beautiful. If you’ve never participated in a demonstration, this is a good time to start. I promise you you’ll love it.

Now I’ve already gone through why the sentence is one hundred percent unreasonable, so if you’re not sure about which side to chose in the matter feel, free to go back and read some of my recent posts. Whether or not they’ve trespassed any laws, demonstrating against the sentence is necessary. The system needs to be reminded for whom it was made to serve. If the people disagree with the system, then it’s always the system that has to change.

So if you’re in Sweden, don the scarf, bring your flag, and hit the streets, because history is being written, and you know you want in. What has happened is wrong, and needs to be righted. Get out there and do something about it!

Here is your Norwegian news article!

A moment for the trial please, it had a sad conclusion… And we’re back! Can’t really let these things have too much of an influence. It was only the lowest instance of the court system, and major mistakes were made. The court should never have accepted the way the prosecution handled the case. New witnesses and evidences were produced from nowhere as if by magic, charges were dropped and rewritten, all during the trial. Evidence put forth by the defendant was ignored in the conclusive documents. Despite how the world could clearly see that our side was winning the case, even without taking sides it was obvious who appeared the stronger, the industry won.

Tomorrow is the day! Either it’s the Pirate Bay or the industry, tomorrow is the day of the sentence! Of course it doesn’t really matter who wins, the other will appeal no matter what, but it’s still going to be interesting to see who this court sides with. I side with the pirates, obviosuly.
