It came to my attention yesterday that Arbeiderpartiet featuring Norway’s prime minister had a put an ad on Sidereel.com, a website which is on the MPAA blacklist as dubious, distributing illegal meterial. When the article was published today in VG I had some reactions from both Google and Arbeiderpartiet of course.
The reason for my criticism is simple:
The customer, is this case Arbeiderpartiet, should be very careful where they place their ads, since it’s about their reputation. The government have had a very strong policy about filesharing, and then see an ad with the Prime Minister in that setting, well, it speaks for itself…
