There’s a really, really easy way to get around this in a free country – vote! If you believe your government is not protecting your rights, vote them out! Keep voting through as many people as you have to until it gets the job done. The government belongs to you and is there to serve your interests, not the other way around.

Hold on, how can they identify which official copy of the film was used for the pirated version? Are all official copies for the theatres marked in some way? Steganography or something?

I hope they don’t follow the US in this and go with the industry. It is hit or miss here depending on the judge, some can be bought, others cannot. I think even some jury members here are questionable. The industry will pay whatever it has to to win, they have to because to say they are wrong is unthinkable to them. All the time they spent fighting it could have been money coming in if they had just been smarter, now they have other companies that were smarter and no place to jump in. Hopefully the courts over there will not bedn over for the industry people. That movie getting leaked was probably the best thing that happened to it.

If the Norwegians go down this route then they MIGHT AS WELL have stayed with Nazism, which this film allegedly is against!

Norrmän, acceptera INTE detta! Kämpa in i det sista och se till att starta ett piratparti ni också!
Ingen jäkla copyrightdiktatur i Norden. Stå på er!

BIOS, I totally agree. Max Manus has blatently committed many copyright violations with his ILLEGAL newspaper and has willfully violated the legal copyright of Goebbels, Himmler and Herr Hitler many times.

But there is more: He also blew up ships belonging to the legal government at the time and murdered innocent German soldiers.

I think that Max Manus should therefore be considered a pirate, a vandal and a murderer and should be hung from the highest tree.

I understand the need to hold people responsible for breaking the law. But laws are in place for a reason. If you do not agree with a law (privacy act) you need to change the law before it is ok to go against it. Just because it seems justified never makes breaking current privacy laws alright.

If it seems unfair that they can be protected by these laws, too fucking bad, they are. If it is a loop hole, too fucking bad.

It doesn’t matter if the cam of this movie made it as big as it is, the guy recording it broke the law. It also doesn’t matter that the firm wants the identity of this individual, that would be breaking the law. I don’t know specifics about Norwegian law but from the above comments I can glean that they can at least enjoy the basics of privacy and free speech.

Oh lots of money is involved so normal people don’t need to know about it right?

“You say “gay” like it was a bad thing.”

being gay is one thing. Being a pederast is an other.

it’s turn out that all the people in the entertainment industry are pederasts and constitute a clear and present danger to our kids. We are taking care of this though.

“quite mercilessly” ?

Is that the word they used. They make it sound as if they got raped, mutelated and tortured.

(or something got lost in translation)

Seriously, the movie leaks to P2P and it beats the record in revenue giving the studio profit after a year of losses.

Do we have a connection here?

In any case, good luck to the defendants. The profits despite online availability of the film just shows MAFIAA and merry friends are wrong. As always.

The movie is good. A bit long, but it’s worth the watch.

The verdict, however, should not be kept a secret. This is something that file-sharing site owners need to know about in order to stay out of the grey areas of the law.

yet again the privacy of ordinary citizens is going to be thrown out the window, just because 1 industry thinks it is ok to do so. what an absolute joke! the release of this film to the internet is probably what made it such a success and so profitable. jacobson is an obvious internet retard who either knows virtually nothing about the way it is used to promote media, or has received the usual ‘industry’ brainwashing. you wont be able to have a shit soon unless it is on camera and permission gained from the courts!!!

Cost 55M to make, took 200M at box office alone, then add 400k dvds + merchandise. OK there’s “hidden costs” distribution and middle men etc but where’s the justification for all this expense to get what’ll probably turn out to be 1 lone projectionist?
