Sweden Outlaws Unauthorized File-Sharing

Sweden, which until now had no law against downloading copyrighted movies and music, has now banned the practice, reports the BBC (via paidcontent). One in 10 Swedes takes part in file-sharing, making the Scandinavian haven of Socialism a haven for online piracy as well. The new law was drafted to bring Sweden into line with European Union directives and is also part of a worldwide crackdown on piracy. Experts say the law will not stop the Swedes from being rampant downloaders, and the country's Justice Minister said pursuing online pirates would be a priority only if files were illegally downloaded in massive quantities.
