Unlike the US, where IP cases are heard by judges who probably do indeed know little if anything about the internet, and ridiculous damages are awarded by juries on a whim, the UK has specialist intellectual property courts where the judge is an expert in the field. So although I'd agree with you in general about British judges, it's not a fair judgement in these specific cases.
