After so much time. I was beginning to think the world had gone crazy. A judge that understands the world as it is today. The world of the Internet and the world of misinformed publc are diverging rapidly, under the new international laws set up by the EU this would have still constituted a crime however as I understand the law. There may however still be hope. This case is an important first.
