    The judge in The Pirate Bay trial has been accused of bias, after Sweden's
    national radio station revealed that Thomas Norstrm was a member of the
    same pro-copyright groups as several of the main entertainment industry
    reps in the case.

    Sveriges Radio's P3 news programme claimed Norstrm is signed up to the
    Swedish Copyright Association (Svenska freningen fr upphovsrtt), which
    also counts Henrik Pontn, Peter Danowsky and Monique Wadsted as members.
    All three represented the entertainment industry in the case against
    BitTorrent tracker site The Pirate Bay.

    Additionally, the judge sits on the board of the Swedish Association for
    the Protection of Industrial Property (Svenska freningen fr industriellt
    rttsskydd), which is lobbying for tougher copyright laws.
