No, a judge is meant to be OBJECTIVE. Arrogance means that the judge already believes he knows it all before the case has even been brought forward meaning that testimonies won't alter his oppinion. In this case, it's obvious that the judge was going to rule in favour of copyright from the get go so how can you have justice?

In my personal experience, judges are devious scumbags. If, like in this case, they already strongly lean towards one side, they'll often undermine the other side. There's a reason why court rulings are so often overthrown after the appeal. The ideal would be to have a judge that has no strong oppinion about the situation and let him make up his mind based on the merits of the case. Giving it to a judge who is the opposite of this, shows a real lack of sense on the side of the justice system.

You know, piracy would be awesome if there were actual pirates plundering delivery trucks containing games, but it's just not that way.

Well, you know, here sometimes appear on the news the "asphalt pirates", which is the nickname we give to those that intercept cargo trucks on the road, and steal the cargo or the truck itself with the cargo. It's not as romantic as one could believe, nor as colorful as true pirates. That's why global warming still goes on the rise.

Lol.

EDIT: Upon reading up on it, it's not all that funny anymore.

''This chart (with inverted numbers on one axis), a version of which was included with Bobby Henderson's original letter to the Kansas School Board, illustrates the absurdity of assuming that correlation implies causation.''

Damn true. People are being so ignorant all the time. Like the whole ''Oh my God, the video games made him kill people at the school'' thing.

Argh!

Maybe we should form them in our respective countries so there is more representatives in the EU parliament.

Then we can even dress as pirates to look more scary and besides pirates are cool ("New" somali pirates excluded from this statement).

Seriously, why are you a pirate if you share a movie with a friend or more friends? is it so bad? what if you just borrwed the movie and watched it with a few friends?! would that be soo much different?
