    Outside of media circles, the story hasn't caught on either, which bothers and surprises me. This is an issue parliament should be making legislation on, but won't unless it becomes a big story.

    1. This is the most perplexing to me in all of this. I can't read the Norwegian verdict

    This is the author of the article saying "I don't know what I'm talking about".

    I'd hope Tildes could avoid these kinds of heated rants based on the author's lack of understanding of law.
