Record Labels Will Ask Potential Piracy Trial Jurors if They Read TorrentFreak
Found on TorrentFreak on Tuesday, 04 February 2020
As part of the jury selection procedure, the record labels want to know if potential jurors use The Pirate Bay, support EFF, or read TorrentFreak.
Apparently, being a reader of TorrentFreak or Ars Technica is something prospective jurors must disclose.
The ISP asks, for example, if the candidates have ever worked at a record label or in the music industry. The company also asks whether they believe it’s an ISP’s responsibility to monitor and police online piracy.
Seems like they don't want any jurors who actually understand the background and can't be easily misled by talkactive lawyers.
