I suppose if I was going to be charged with copy-right infringement, I'd prefer a judge who 'appeared to be unbiased' on the issue... not one who was a part of music-industry related lobby groups.
Well seeing as it's in Sweden and we're not, I'm not going to assume it's a lobby group. I don't know the standards under Swedish law, but the bottom line is that recusal standards can't be so high as to make the system inefficient.
