The UK's High Court has dismissed a final appeal from Icelandic artist Odee regarding his ownership of the website We're Sorry, which he used to expose alleged corruption by fishing company Samherji hf. The website presented a digital artwork meant to critique the company's involvement in bribery linked to the Fishrot scandal. Judge Anthony Mann ruled that Odee's website was not a parody and thus not protected under freedom of expression, leading him to hand control back to Samherji. Odee plans to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
