The court documents explain Lundgren's points (these discs are free, they still require a licence) and the prosecution's points, and why the courts agreed with the prosecution.

Are you claiming that the court actually understood what he'd done? That's not what I get from the article.

Edit: See the top comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16921634 The court clearly didn't understand that he was providing restore disks, which would not work unless the user already had a license key.
