Nothing on this is currently floating in the Dutch media, so probably not worth the read.

If and when the Dutch media pick up on this, would that suddenly make it worth reading? The internet leads the traditional media nowadays, so we decide if they pick up on it.

Sensational headline aside, there are some pertinent facts in it.

Headlines, unfortunately, need to catch people's attention. That's their job.

Thankfully it has hit Geenstijl:

You may want to send the link to the article to some newspapers in NL, maybe a few will pick it up and investigate. If nobody tells the mainstream press, they may just overlook it.

I've forwarded the link to Ot van Daalen, the CEO of bits-of-freedom.

He has a lot of press contacts so maybe that will make it go somewhere.

Tweakers.net: Het artikel of de meukupdate op de link 'http://falkvinge.net/2012/05/12/dutch-judge-who-ordered-pira... bevindt zich al in de queue. De link kan niet nogmaals ingestuurd worden.

Translation: The article with the link [where this HN story leads to] is already in the queue. The link cannot be sent in again.

I don't find it likely that Tweakers is going to write a full article about this. As on of their writers stated "a serious accusation and not very convincing"
