http://blog.brokep.com/2009/10/08/fail-in-nl/Today there was a hearing in The Netherlands, of BREIN vs Svartholm/Neij/Sunde, aka, my friends and I, regarding The Pirate Bay.
BREIN has been accusing us for breaking dutch law with allowing people in The Netherlands to access TPB.
They actually won the first case, on a default judgement since we didn?t show. We didn?t show because we didn?t even know about the case until two days before. Similar behaviour has been shown in Italy where we actually lost a court case because we were not aware of it. There is of course also the issue of jurisdiction. We are not living in the Netherlands any of us nor do we have any connection to the country that I am aware of?
