First of all you can not appeal a verdict from the Icelandic Supreme Court it is FINAL. And the accusers ultimately failed since they got no compensation and only succeeded in shutting the site down and that Svavar paid the legal fees ( wich are btw: substantial!

So the outcome is a tie so to speak.

Anyways Kudos to Svavar for standing up. But it seems that as long as trackers do not include Icelandic copyrighted material. They are left “alone” ……..

Regards: Freyr Njardvik, Iceland

PS: The reference to Iceland having become a 3rd world country is grossly exagerated. Things are surprisingly normal here….

This is how corporations win court cases. They drag it out as long as possible until their victim is broke because of legal costs. Not because they are right but because they can control the courts with high powered lawyers, corporate lobbyists who will bribe anyone, anything but the truth!

For every one that falls, ten take its place. Good luck with that.
