I have Debian installed on AMD 64 bit laptop. How can I install the
java plugin for iceweasel?

I have heard that Sun has not released a Java plugin for AMD 64-bit.
Is this true?

Is there any non-Sun plugin then?

Yes, it's true. AFAIK the only solution at the moment is to install a
32-bit version of the java plugin.

What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with

You can't, since there is none.

Yes.

Your only option is to install a 32bit chroot with Firefox and Java in
it and run Firefox from there.
