A court of appeals has ruled that the judge in the Pirate Bay trial was not biased. Judge Tomas Norstrom was a member of two copyright organizations, organizations that the prosecuting attorneys were also members of. The court ruled that the organizations were just a way for the judge to keep up to date on copyright law and don't indicate any form of bias. Regardless of this decision, the case will likely drag on for many more months and perhaps even years in appeals courts as both sides have indicated the desire to do so. When all is said and done this has the potential to be a landmark decision in the ongoing file sharing saga.
