  24       <div class="date">19th May 2016</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>I just donated to the
  26 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">NUUG defence
  27 "fond"</a> to fund the effort in Norway to get the seizure of the news
  28 site popcorn-time.no tested in court.  I hope everyone that agree with
  29 me will do the same.</p>
  30
  31 <p>Would you be worried if you knew the police in your country could
  32 hijack DNS domains of news sites covering free software system without
  33 talking to a judge first?  I am.  What if the free software system
  34 combined search engine lookups, bittorrent downloads and video playout
  35 and was called Popcorn Time?  Would that affect your view?  It still
  36 make me worried.</p>
  37
  38 <p>In March 2016, the Norwegian police seized (as in forced NORID to
  39 change the IP address pointed to by it to one controlled by the
  40 police) the DNS domain popcorn-time.no, without any supervision from
  41 the courts.  I did not know about the web site back then, and assumed
  42 the courts had been involved, and was very surprised when I discovered
  43 that the police had hijacked the DNS domain without asking a judge for
  44 permission first.  I was even more surprised when I had a look at
  45 <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://popcorn-time.no">the web
  46 site content on the Internet Archive</A>, and only found news coverage
  47 about Popcorn Time, not any material published without the right
  48 holders permissions.</p>
  49
  50 <p>The seizure was widely covered in the Norwegian press (see for
  51 example <a href="http://www.hegnar.no/Nyheter/Naeringsliv/2016/03/Popcorn-time.no-beslaglagt-av-OEkokrim">Hegnar Online</a> and
  52 <a href="http://itavisen.no/2016/03/08/okokrim-har-beslaglagt-popcorn-time-no/">ITavisen<a/>
  53 and
  54 <a href="http://www.nrk.no/kultur/okokrim-gar-til-aksjon-mot-popcorn-time-1.12842452">NRK</a>),
  55 at first due to the press release sent out by Økokrim, but then based
  56 on
  57 <a href="http://blogg.torvund.net/2016/03/09/okokrims-beslag-i-domenet-popcorn-time-no/">protests
  58 from the law professor Olav Torvund</a> and
  59 <a href="http://www.klassekampen.no/article/20160311/ARTICLE/160319995">lawyer
  60 Jon Wessel-Aas</a>.  It even got some
  61 <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/norwegian-authorities-sued-over-popcorn-time-domain-seizure-160418/">coverage
  62 on TorrentFreak</a>.</p>
  63
  64 <p>I
  65 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/NUUG_contests_Norwegian_police_DNS_seizure_of_popcorn_time_no.html">
  66 wrote about the case a month ago</a>, when the
  67 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix User Group</a> (NUUG),
  68 where I am an active member, decided to ask the courts to test this seizure.
  69 The request was denied, but NUUG and its co-requestor EFN have not
  70 given up, and now they are rallying for support to get the seizure
  71 legally challenged.  They accept both bank and Bitcoin transfer for
  72 those that want to support the request.</p>
  73
  74 <p>If you as me believe news sites about free software should not be
  75 censored, even if the free software have both legal and illegal
  76 applications, and that DNS hijacking should be tested by the courts, I
  77 suggest you <a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">show
  78 your support by donating to NUUG</a>.</a>
