Finland for Thought acquires legal representation

Sorry Hank W., you’re fired.
I’ve been contacted by Herkko Hietanen of Turre Legal, a Finnish law firm who focus on computer and corporate law. They will be handling my case and representing me pro bono.
You might remember Herkko from a couple years ago when I interviewed him on Radio Free Finland during the podcast’s debut show (click to download the mp3). He’s a PhD student and lawyer who specializes in IT-law particularly with open source, and co-founder of EFFI (Electronic Frontier Finland). He and his colleagues have just published a book, “Community Created Content. Law, Business and Policy” available on Amazon.
To sum it up, there’s no better person and firm on this earth to have representing me.
Herkko will be on YLE TV2 tonight tomorrow night at 20.30 or YLE TV1 at 18.00 (not sure which yet, I’ll let you know) to discuss net libel cases. My case will be briefly mentioned (not sure to what extent yet). Since I’m out of the country at the moment, if anyone could record it for me, that would be fantastic!
And as always, I’ll be keeping you all up to date on the situation.
