You're gonna paaaay, you're gonna paaay, you're gonna paaay.... La-la-la-la... you're gonna paaaay...

Disregarding the moral point you guys are trying to make when you compare Viking raids to colonial exploitation, legally they have a much better case, since there is a legal link from British Empire and modern UK, which does not exist between Viking tribes and modern Norway...

On the other hand, international courts and organizations are funded and controlled precisely by those former colonial powers. So, it's kind of like suing a guy because he took something from you and finding out he's the judge presiding over the case.
