I want the courts to be involved before the police can hijack a news site DNS domain (#domstolkontroll)
+
19th May 2016
+
I just donated to the
+NUUG defence
+"fond" 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.
+
+
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.
+
+
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
+the web
+site content on the Internet Archive, and only found news coverage
+about Popcorn Time, not any material published without the right
+holders permissions.
I
+
+wrote about the case a month ago, when the
+Norwegian Unix User Group (NUUG),
+where I am an active 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.
+
+
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 show
+your support by donating to NUUG.
