+-   Sweden to Give Courts New Power to Hunt Infringers-> on Friday March 14 2008, @10:46PM I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "The Swedish Culture & Justice ministers are perparing to give new power to Swedish courts to let them force ISPs to give up subscriber IPs, so that subscribers can be tried for copyright infringement. As the one-time home of the Pirate Bay which is now internationally distributed, they face both US pressure and push-back at home. The Swedish arm of the Pirate Party is calling this move a 'sanctioned blackmailing operation', but hopefully the Swedish courts won't allow the IFPI to use as many tricks as the RIAA has in US courts."
