   5 <p>It is days like today I am really happy to be a member of
   6 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">the Norwegian Unix User group</a>, a
   7 member association for those of us believing in free software, open
   8 standards and unix-like operating systems.  NUUG announced today it
   9 will
  10 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/news/Pressemelding__NUUG_og_EFN_begj_rer_rettslig_pr_ving_for_DNS_domenebeslag_av_popcorn_time_no.shtml">try
  11 to bring the seizure of the DNS domain popcorn-time.no as
  12 unlawful</a>, to stand up for the principle that writing about a
  13 controversial topic is not infringing copyrights, and censuring web
  14 pages by hijacking DNS domain should be decided by the courts, not the
  15 police.  The DNS domain was seized by the Norwegian National Authority
  16 for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime
  17 a month ago.  I hope this bring more paying members to NUUG to give
  18 the association the financial muscle needed to bring this case as far
  19 as it must go to stop this kind of DNS hijacking.</p>
