Google translation. The judge is member of two copyright lobby organizations, something he shares with several of the prosecutor attorneys (Monique Wadsted, Henrik Pontén and Peter Danowsky). The organizations in question are Svenska Föreningen för Upphovsrätt (SFU) and Svenska föreningen för industriellt rättsskydd (SFIR)."

Bear in mind the three levels of security: 1) no-ssl: offers neither encryption nor authenication 2) SSL(self-signed): offers encryption 3) SSL(3rd party signed): offers both

why is that that no.2, which is a significant improvement on no.1, generates such a severe warning message?

You cannot have encryption without authentication. Encryption is defined as the confidential transfer of information only to the intended parties. If you cannot be sure that you are exchanging session encryption keys with the intended party, you might just as well be talking to the man-in-ze-middle.
