Back in April after the four involved in the Pirate Bay scuffle were declared guilty of helping to break copyright law, the judge who gave the verdict, Thomas Norstrom, was found to probably be biased due to his involvement in several pro-copyright groups. After a long, cold, hard bout of deliberation, the Swedish Court of Appeals has actually found Norstrom unbiased, something rather surprising. This means that the charges against the guilty still stand.

You miss the point deliberately, not that I'm surprised. People like you always do. You're so set in your mind that you will not actually comprehend the deeper meaning behind the problem. The DVD is just an example, the broader question remains. Suppose it's not a DVD, suppose it's a medical item that you, for whatever reason, are not allowed and that you do need to survive in the future due to legal bs? "Need" isn't the point, it's the precedent and concepts behind it that are the issues here.
I do not advocate piracy, although I wish there was a better word to describe it as "piracy" isn't exactly accurate. The broader question behind my example was simply this: what do you do when your caught between impossible laws? Take the DVD out of it for a moment, if it will help you understand the question better, since obviously you've fixated on the example and not the broader question.
