Well, I’m sure some of you might feel damn lucky not living in Sweden. :D

Sweden’s anti-piracy group AntipiratbyrÃ¥n (APB) has reported 200 people to the police for breaking copyright laws by exchanging music, games and films online, according to Sweden’s The Local. In the mean time, APB has issued over 400,000 warning letters to suspected file-sharers.

However, the agency itself is running into trouble too as over 1,000 people have reported ABP to the Swedish authorities for breaking personal data laws by collecting IP addresses. So, now who is against the law? :p

Anyway, the Swedish parliament has just passed a law of banning all file-sharing, which effective as of July 1, 2005.

So, when is our turn? Let’s hope not so soon !! :D
