Pirate Bay Court Appeal Set For Just After General Election
In April 2009, all four defendants in the Pirate Bay trial were found guilty and sentenced to one year in prison and a fines of $905,000 each. The defense didn’t accept the decision, and went on to file for an appeal.
Their appeal is now expected to head to the Court of Appeal on 28 September 2010. Nine days have been allocated in all, and the last is due on 15 October.
The dates are not fixed in stone and could be changed if the plaintiffs or defendants have any objections, which even at this early stage seems to be the case.
Peter Sunde has already taken note that the provisional date is penciled-in for after the Swedish parliamentary elections which take place on 19 September 2010.

Our focus with today's update is to make it easy for new folks to get started, but still make it easy for advanced people to get what they want in few clicks. Read more
Anheuser Busch Gets Taste of Wholesaler Protection System
A decision in Illinois today by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission delivered proof of what so many of us have come to understand as the truth: the Three tier system has evolved into the "Wholesaler Protection System" while the various alcohol beverage and liquor control commissions in the different states have become the enforcers of that corrupt system.
Today the Illinois Liquor Control Commission ruled against Anheuser-Busch's bid to buy out its Chicago-area distributor so that it might distribute its beer on its own. The Commission cited the need to preserve the "Three Tier System" as the primary reason to deny A-B the ability to buy the remaining 70% of City Beverage-Illinois and self distribute its beer rather than use a wholesaler.
