As most of you know, the preliminary injunction 
that was issued against me in September is 
connected to a monetary penalty. The CoS claims 
that I have infringed their copyright after 
September and that I thus have violated the 
injunction. On this ground they have motioned 
that I be fined with the monetary penalty 
stipulated in the injunction.

This penalty case will be heard in the primary 
court of Stockholm on March 5 at 09.30 h in 
what is meant to be a preliminary (preparatory) 
hearing. Audience is welcome. However, due to 
the fact that the CoS just today withdrew the 
greatest part of the grounds for its motion, 
there is a good possibility that this hearing 
will be enough to decide the case. 

In withdrawing a number of grounds two days 
before the hearing, the CoS admits indirectly 
that it was pressing a hopeless case and abusing 
the courts and the institute of litigation (an 
unheard of behaviour, isn't it?) It remains to 
see how this may reflect on the process costs 
awarded in case the CoS wins the rest. Then 
again, I don't really think they will win. To 
put it with less false modesty, I am quite 
convinced that the CoS will lose this one and 
take a severe blow, at least to its morale.
Those of you acustomed to posting "bwahahas" 
and "squick-squick-squicks", please get ready.


The files at http://www.wineasy.se/weesp/trial.htm 
will be removed one of these days; those still 
interested have their last chance now.
