Following the lunch break, proceedings continued with prosecutor Håkan Roswall failing to start up his computer. For several minutes, listeners of the live audio could hear mouse-clicks as Roswall, who earlier claimed to be an expert on computer crimes, tried to get his PowerPoint presentation on the screen. He was eventually ordered by the judge to stick to his papers and continue.
Information was presented about various movie, music and game downloads co-ordinated by The Pirate Bay before the raid in 2006. Roswall further discussed the total number of seeds and peers on the tracker, all part of the evidence that was previously gathered by the plaintiffs. During the afternoon, Peter Sunde sent a message;
"How the hell did they think this was going to be something else than EPIC FAIL for the prosecution? We're winning so hard." Peter points out that the prosecutor is having difficulty working out the difference between megabits and megabytes.
An expert on computer crimes that can't even get a Powerpoint (ugh!) slideshow up?
