No idea about Swedish law, or the way that this would work in England or Scotland. If it was the case that leaking made a case untryable I'd expect a lot more leaks to happen, because it would very much be in some people's interests.
Maybe it's just when it gets reported in newspapers then, it becomes a crime for the newspapers to have published material that they should not have. I know when a trial is completed, suddenly lots of stuff is cleared to appear in the news. Like the Sheridan trial, as soon as the jury delivered their verdict, the news agencies were green lighted to publish lots of material they had obtained.
I'm honestly not sure. But I think there is the same injunction. If somebody publishes confidential material relating to an ongoing prosecution, they can be charged with contempt of court.
That would certainly be the case if the court had jurisdiction over the person who published the material. But if they are say in another country, it gets far less likely any action could be taken against them for publishing information that is sub judice.
You can say 'I follow the path of Doctor Who' because that's the show. That's okay. What you can't say is 'Doctor Who defeated the Cybermen.' Bloody lame-ass wannabe fans.
It's a stupid point, but while I admit "kettling" aptly describes the act of concentrating potential violence all into one place, I don't see why we need a new word, other than "unlawful inprisonment" to describe detaining peaceful, innocent people without any suspicion or any due process, merely because there are a lot of them in one place.
(I also admit it would be a sane response to people who ARE seriously violent, and effective it deterring anyone at all from invoking their rights to free speech and assembly.)
WRT to the scratchcard guy, I agree it's depressing, but isn't "taking a small medium or large amount of effort to discover whether or not the ticket was pre-chosen to win" what physical scratchcards are. You could have ones where what you do effects the outcome but I don't think it's common (?) It's mildly amusing it's more visible on the web, and I agree it's depressing, but it hardly seems surprising...
# Jesus vs Dr Who - part 2 (tags: doctorwho religion webcomic comic funny) # Jesus vs Dr Who - part 1 (tags: doctorwho religion comic funny drwho) Totally AWESOME!! Though if the two met they would certainly enjoy each others company I would think. :)

Documents in Julian Assange Rape Investigation Leak Onto Web - more details. Unpleasant stuff. (tags: rape JulianAssange law) I hadn't read these, but ya' know, I thought Julian was not a very nice person when he said he hated bullies. I looked at him and thought he was a bully. Hmmm....
The statistics about British manufacturing companies having more cash assets than liabilities at the moment is interesting. I foresee much takeover activity...
