+ <p>I just noticed

+new Norwegian proposal for archiving rules in the goverment</a> list
+<a href="http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm">ECMA-376</a>
+/ ISO/IEC 29500 (aka OOXML) as valid formats to put in long term
+storage. Luckily such files will only be accepted based on
+pre-approval from the National Archive. Allowing OOXML files to be
+used for long term storage might seem like a good idea as long as we
+forget that there are plenty of ways for a "valid" OOXML document to
+have content with no defined interpretation in the standard, which
+lead to a question and an idea.</p>
+
+<p>Is there any tool to detect if a OOXML document depend on such
+undefined behaviour? It would be useful for the National Archive (and
+anyone else interested in verifying that a document is well defined)
+to have such tool available when considering to approve the use of
+OOXML. I'm aware of the
+<a href="https://github.com/arlm/officeotron/">officeotron OOXML
+validator</a>, but do not know how complete it is nor if it will
+report use of undefined behaviour. Are there other similar tools
+available? Please send me an email if you know of any such tool.</p>

+ <div class="body">
+ <p>A few days ago, we received the ruling from
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_day_in_court_challenging_seizure_of_popcorn_time_no_for__domstolkontroll.html">my
+day in court</a>. The case in question is a challenge of the seizure
+of the DNS domain popcorn-time.no. The ruling simply did not mention
+most of our arguments, and seemed to take everything ØKOKRIM said at
+face value, ignoring our demonstration and explanations. But it is
+hard to tell for sure, as we still have not seen most of the documents
+in the case and thus were unprepared and unable to contradict several
+of the claims made in court by the opposition. We are considering an
+appeal, but it is partly a question of funding, as it is costing us
+quite a bit to pay for our lawyer. If you want to help, please
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">donate to the
+NUUG defense fund</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The details of the case, as far as we know it, is available in
+Norwegian from
+<a href="https://www.nuug.no/news/tags/dns-domenebeslag/">the NUUG
+blog</a>. This also include
+<a href="https://www.nuug.no/news/Avslag_etter_rettslig_h_ring_om_DNS_beslaget___vurderer_veien_videre.shtml">the

-<p>Yesterday, I spent the entire day in court in Follo Tingrett

+<p>On Wednesday, I spent the entire day in court in Follo Tingrett
+representing <a href="https://www.nuug.no/">the member association
+NUUG</a>, alongside <a href="https://www.efn.no/">the member
+association EFN</a> and <a href="http://www.imc.no">the DNS registrar
+IMC</a>, challenging the seizure of the DNS name popcorn-time.no. It
+was interesting to sit in a court of law for the first time in my
+life. Our team can be seen in the picture above: attorney Ola
+Tellesbø, EFN board member Tom Fredrik Blenning, IMC CEO Morten Emil
+Eriksen and NUUG board member Petter Reinholdtsen.</p>
-<p>The case at hand is that the Norwegian National Authority for
-Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime
-decided on their own, to seizure a DNS domain early last year, without
-following
+<p><a href="http://www.domstol.no/no/Enkelt-domstol/follo-tingrett/Nar-gar-rettssaken/Beramming/?cid=AAAA1701301512081262234UJFBVEZZZZZEJBAvtale">The
+case at hand</a> is that the Norwegian National Authority for
+Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (aka
+Økokrim) decided on their own, to seize a DNS domain early last
+year, without following
<a href="https://www.norid.no/no/regelverk/navnepolitikk/#link12">the
official policy of the Norwegian DNS authority</a> which require a
court decision. The web site in question was a site covering Popcorn
-Time. Our team can be seen in the picture above: attorney Ola
-Tellesbø, EFN board member Tom Fredrik Blenning, IMC CEO Morten Emil
-Eriksen and NUUG board member Petter Reinholdtsen. From the other
-side there were two people from Økokrim (Elisabeth Harbo-Lervik and
-Stian Petersen). On the benches, appearing to be part of the
-government group were two people from the Simonsen Vogt Wiik lawyer
-office (Hedda Heier and Nicholas Foss Barbantonis), and three others I
-am not quite sure who was.</p>
-
-<p>I did not quite know what to expect, but the government held on to
-their version of the story and we held on to ours, and I hope the
-judge is able to make sense of it all. Unfortunately I do not have
-high hopes, as it is expensive to be right also in Norway. So far the
-case have cost more than NOK 70 000,-. NUUG and EFN have asked for
-donations to help fund this case, but only received around NOK 25
-000,- so far. Thus we are quite a bit short. And if we win, I expect
-the government to appeal. And if the government appeal, I hope we
-have enough funding to run our own appeal.</p>
+Time. And Popcorn Time is the name of a technology with both legal
+and illegal applications. Popcorn Time is a client combining
+searching a Bittorrent directory available on the Internet with
+downloading/distribute content via Bittorrent and playing the
+downloaded content on screen. It can be used illegally if it is used
+to distribute content against the will of the right holder, but it can
+also be used legally to play a lot of content, for example the
+millions of movies
+<a href="https://archive.org/details/movies">available from the
+Internet Archive</a> or the collection
+<a href="http://vodo.net/films/">available from Vodo</a>. We created
+<a href="magnet:?xt=urn:btih:86c1802af5a667ca56d3918aecb7d3c0f7173084&dn=PresentasjonFolloTingrett.mov&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fpublic.popcorn-tracker.org%3A6969%2Fannounce">a
+video demonstrating legally use of Popcorn Time</a> and played it in
+Court. It can of course be downloaded using Bittorrent.</p>
+
+<p>I did not quite know what to expect from a day in court. The
+government held on to their version of the story and we held on to
+ours, and I hope the judge is able to make sense of it all. We will
+know in two weeks time. Unfortunately I do not have high hopes, as
+the Government have the upper hand here with more knowledge about the
+case, better training in handling criminal law and in general higher
+standing in the courts than fairly unknown DNS registrar and member
+associations. It is expensive to be right also in Norway. So far the
+case have cost more than NOK 70 000,-. To help fund the case, NUUG
+and EFN have asked for donations, and managed to collect around NOK 25
+000,- so far. Given the presentation from the Government, I expect
+the government to appeal if the case go our way. And if the case do
+not go our way, I hope we have enough funding to appeal.</p>
+
+<p>From the other side came two people from Økokrim. On the benches,
+appearing to be part of the group from the government were two people
+from the Simonsen Vogt Wiik lawyer office, and three others I am not
+quite sure who was. Økokrim had proposed to present two witnesses
+from The Motion Picture Association, but this was rejected because
+they did not speak Norwegian and it was a bit late to bring in a
+translator, but perhaps the two from MPA were present anyway. All
+seven appeared to know each other. Good to see the case is take
+seriously.</p>
<p>If you, like me, believe the courts should be involved before a DNS
-domain is hijacked by the government, or the Popcorn Time technology
-have a lot of useful and legal applications, I suggest you
-<a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">donate to the
-NUUG defence fund</a>. Both Bitcoin and bank transfer are
-available. If NUUG get more than we need for the legal action, the
-rest will be spend promoting free software, open standards and
-unix-like operating systems in Norway.</p>
+domain is hijacked by the government, or you believe the Popcorn Time

+too <a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">donate to
+the NUUG defense fund</a>. Both Bitcoin and bank transfer are
+available. If NUUG get more than we need for the legal action (very
+unlikely), the rest will be spend promoting free software, open
+standards and unix-like operating systems in Norway, so no matter what
+happens the money will be put to good use.</p>
