The High court just quashed the Data Protection Commissioner’s enforcement order which sought to stop Eircom’s “three strikes you’re out” policy. This means Eircom will probably continue with their policy of shutting down the internet for people who engage in digital piracy.

 The investors now suing over the 2009 film Transylmania believe they can make a strong case in describing the horrors.

Forget the fact that of the thousands of films rated for critical consensus by Rotten Tomatoes, less than 10 have a score of “0.” Transylmania is one of them. And never mind the fact that when the film opened on 1007 screens in 2009, it had a per screen average of $262 according to Box Office Mojo, which is said to be the worst performance for any wide release ever recorded.

And the trailer was so promising, too.

It has taken over 30 days of hearings, the court room has been packed to the gunnels with nearly 40 solicitors and barristers, the saga encompassed Bono from U2, Tony Blair, princes, yachts and of course Derek Quinlan “sitting around on his fat arse”, and today we get one ruling on one small – but highly significant for NAMA – aspect of the Paddy McKillen (above) versus the Barclay brothers case in London’s High Court.

Earlier this year, a British High Court judge gave an interim ruling which supported Paddy’s claim on a peripheral point in the case. That ruling was appealed to the British Appeal Court. The point at issue was whether or not NAMA had the right to sell the loans in the way that it did. Paddy said it hadn’t. NAMA said it had.

Paddy has lost.
