+
+&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, I spent the entire day in court in Follo Tingrett
+representing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the member association
+NUUG&lt;/a&gt;, alongside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.efn.no/&quot;&gt;the member
+association EFN&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imc.no&quot;&gt;the DNS registrar
+IMC&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.domstol.no/no/Enkelt-domstol/follo-tingrett/Nar-gar-rettssaken/Beramming/?cid=AAAA1701301512081262234UJFBVEZZZZZEJBAvtale&quot;&gt;The
+case at hand&lt;/a&gt; is that the Norwegian National Authority for
+Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (aka
+Økokrim) decided on their own, to seizure a DNS domain early last
+year, without following
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.norid.no/no/regelverk/navnepolitikk/#link12&quot;&gt;the
+official policy of the Norwegian DNS authority&lt;/a&gt; which require a
+court decision.  The web site in question was a site covering Popcorn
+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
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/movies&quot;&gt;available from the
+Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt; or the collection
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://vodo.net/films/&quot;&gt;available from Vodo&lt;/a&gt;.  We created
+&lt;a href=&quot;magnet:?xt=urn:btih:86c1802af5a667ca56d3918aecb7d3c0f7173084&amp;dn=PresentasjonFolloTingrett.mov&amp;tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fpublic.popcorn-tracker.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&quot;&gt;a
+video demonstrating legally use of Popcorn Time&lt;/a&gt; and played it in
+Court.  It can of course be downloaded using Bittorrent.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.
+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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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 they take the case
+seriously.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you, like me, believe the courts should be involved before a DNS
+domain is hijacked by the government, or you believe the Popcorn Time
+technology have a lot of useful and legal applications, I suggest you
+too &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml&quot;&gt;donate to
+the NUUG defense fund&lt;/a&gt;.  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
+happen the money will be put to good use.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you want to lean more about the case, I recommend you check out
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/news/tags/dns-domenebeslag/&quot;&gt;the blog
+posts from NUUG covering the case&lt;/a&gt;.  They cover the legal arguments
+on both sides.&lt;/p&gt;

-fire og et halvt år siden&lt;/a&gt; lot jeg meg overraske over at Ruters
-billettautomater for kollektivtrafikken i Oslo kjørte
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2000&quot;&gt;Windows 2000
-Professional&lt;/a&gt;, et og et halvt år etter at Microsoft hadde gitt
-beskjed om at det ikke lenger kom sikkerhetsoppdateringer til
-systemet.  Støtten fra Microsoft
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/?sort=PN&amp;alpha=Windows+2000&amp;Filter=FilterNO&quot;&gt;tok
-slutt 2010-07-13 i følge Wikipedia og Microsoft selv&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For fem dager siden passerte jeg på nytt en slik billettautomat som
-hadde brutt sammen, og den annonserte fortsatt at den kjører Windows
-2000 Professional, nå mer enn seks år siden Microsoft sluttet å komme
-med sikkerhetspatcher til produktet.  Sikret meg et bilde av
-krasjmeldingen på skjermen.
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2016-11-29-ruter-win2000pro.jpeg&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;40%&quot; src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2016-11-29-ruter-win2000pro.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;[foto av billettautomat]&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Mon tro om de mangler kildekoden til systemet som kjører på
-automaten, og dermed ikke uten videre kan oppgradere?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg ser jo fra
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mimesbronn.no/request/ruterbillett_app&quot;&gt;en
-innsynshenvendelse om kildekoden til billett-Appen til Ruter på Mimes
-brønn&lt;/a&gt; at Ruter tilsynelatende ikke legger sikkerheten i
-sertifikater, nøkler og passord, men i stedet baserer seg på at
-logikken i programvaren holdes hemmelig. Det borger ikke godt for
-sikkerheten i Ruters datasystemer.
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er nå tre og et halvt år siden
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/osloby/Ingen-nye-Ruter-automater-for-sommeren-118460b.html&quot;&gt;Ruter
-fortalte Aftenposten at nye automater ble minst seks måneder
-forsinket&lt;/a&gt;, da leverandøren ikke hadde god nok kontroll.  Det kan
-virke som om leverandøren ikke er alene om å ikke ha god nok
-kontroll.&lt;/p&gt;
