Apparently, the most expensive movie ever produced in Norway was (shocking, I know) found on the internet soon after it was released.   The filmmakers got very, very upset about this and &#8220;launched an investigation.&#8221;  After figuring out what they believed to be the IP address of the first uploader, they went to the police, who basically said they weren&#8217;t interested in getting involved.  So instead, the fillmmakers filed a civil suit and attempted to get the name of the account associated with the IP address at the time of the first upload.  But, at least in Norway, <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentfreak.com\/pirate-movie-privacy-case-set-for-the-supreme-court-100208\/?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20Torrentfreak%20%28Torrentfreak%29\" >it&#8217;s something of an open legal question as to whether or not a private company\/individual can get such info<\/a>, as it has the potential to violate data privacy rules.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly, the court made its decision last May, but <i>kept the verdict secret from the public<\/i>.  I guess I&#8217;m not that familiar with Norwegian law, but I find it odd that a verdict can be kept secret.  Either way, whichever party lost (and no one knows who) appealed, and the Norwegian Supreme Court is apparently looking over the case.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/articles\/20100208\/1647408088.shtml\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/articles\/20100208\/1647408088.shtml#comments\">Comments<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/article.php?sid=20100208\/1647408088&#038;op=sharethis\">Email This Story<\/a><br \/>\n <br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=228b65aab58cd7c0a8e6187cdfdea918&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 0;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=228b65aab58cd7c0a8e6187cdfdea918&#038;p=1\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=\"http:\/\/a.rfihub.com\/eus.gif?eui=2225\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=sSafmMPY4Xg:VitBNfqw8YI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?i=sSafmMPY4Xg:VitBNfqw8YI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=sSafmMPY4Xg:VitBNfqw8YI:c-S6u7MTCTE\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?d=c-S6u7MTCTE\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/techdirt\/feed\/~4\/sSafmMPY4Xg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TorrentFreak alerts us to an interesting case happening in Norway right now.
