+        <p>I just donated to the
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">NUUG defence
+"fond"</a> to fund the effort in Norway to get the seizure of the news
+site popcorn-time.no tested in court.  I hope everyone that agree with
+me will do the same.</p>
+
+<p>Would you be worried if you knew the police in your country could
+hijack DNS domains of news sites covering free software system without
+talking to a judge first?  I am.  What if the free software system
+combined search engine lookups, bittorrent downloads and video playout
+and was called Popcorn Time?  Would that affect your view?  It still
+make me worried.</p>
+
+<p>In March 2016, the Norwegian police seized (as in forced NORID to
+change the IP address pointed to by it to one controlled by the
+police) the DNS domain popcorn-time.no, without any supervision from
+the courts.  I did not know about the web site back then, and assumed
+the courts had been involved, and was very surprised when I discovered
+that the police had hijacked the DNS domain without asking a judge for
+permission first.  I was even more surprised when I had a look at
+<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://popcorn-time.no">the web
+site content on the Internet Archive</A>, and only found news coverage
+about Popcorn Time, not any material published without the right
+holders permissions.</p>
+
+<p>The seizure was widely covered in the Norwegian press (see for
+example <a href="http://www.hegnar.no/Nyheter/Naeringsliv/2016/03/Popcorn-time.no-beslaglagt-av-OEkokrim">Hegnar Online</a> and
+<a href="http://itavisen.no/2016/03/08/okokrim-har-beslaglagt-popcorn-time-no/">ITavisen<a/>
+and
+<a href="http://www.nrk.no/kultur/okokrim-gar-til-aksjon-mot-popcorn-time-1.12842452">NRK</a>),
+at first due to the press release sent out by Økokrim, but then based
+on
+<a href="http://blogg.torvund.net/2016/03/09/okokrims-beslag-i-domenet-popcorn-time-no/">protests
+from the law professor Olav Torvund</a> and
+<a href="http://www.klassekampen.no/article/20160311/ARTICLE/160319995">lawyer
+Jon Wessel-Aas</a>.  It even got some
+<a href="https://torrentfreak.com/norwegian-authorities-sued-over-popcorn-time-domain-seizure-160418/">coverage
+on TorrentFreak</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/NUUG_contests_Norwegian_police_DNS_seizure_of_popcorn_time_no.html">
+wrote about the case a month ago</a>, when the
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix User Group</a> (NUUG)
+where I am a member decided to ask the courts to test this seizure.
+The request was denied, but NUUG and its co-requestor EFN have not
+given up, and now they are rallying for support to get the seizure
+legally challenged.  They accept both bank and Bitcoin transfer for
+those that want to support the request.</p>
+
+<p>If you as me believe news sites about free software should not be
+censored, even if the free software have both legal and illegal
+applications, and that DNS hijacking should be tested by the courts, I
+suggest you <a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">show
+your support by donating to NUUG</a>.</a>
