And I'd just like to say the Che imagery is really weirding me out...

That's the first time I've seen "grew up" as a euphemism for "got so abso-fricken-lutely wasted that i forgot where i was from" in the internets

Maybe this is why it's understandable to call Michael Laws a Chunt.

Did you note Dubber's post about the "Is This It?" conference in Helsinki? I loved the woman complaining about her band being the "most illegally downloaded act in Finland"! (in part 2) -
They're not being paid any extra to sit on juries. I think quite the opposite.
Not the point. They're trained to analyse law and tell you why it doesn't apply. Besides, a jury is supposed to be of your peers.
They'd be less bamboozled that the ordinary citizen
About facts? I doubt it. It's not a jury's place to interpret law, but to decide on the facts of a case, according to the law as explained to them.
want to get off unpaid work as soon as possible.
If you want a fast result, draw ballots out of a hat or roll dice. If you use a jury, it will take as long as it takes. Some juries come in in minutes, some in weeks. Depends on the case.

2. All jurors are trained ethically bound lawyers (for Mark)
Not a good idea. They'd spend their time arguing legal interpretations, rather than the facts presented. That's why lawyers aren't allowed to sit on juries now.

They certainly have this information, we send it all to them. And if they use it to figure out how much money you are owed, I can't see why they couldn't send it to you.
As far as I could determine from the presentation, and subsequent Q&A (and this was 4+ years ago), they want the data so they know how much to charge, not how much to pass on. The amount paid and to whom seems quite arbitrary to me, and not based on actual copying data.
