Swedish are loosing thier privacy...

[Update: Apr, 08, 2009] "After this law was enforced, interent P2P traffic has dropped down to a 50% in Swedish networks following the information provided by netnod. This company manages the main P2P exchange web pages (Luleå, Sundsvall, Stockholm, Gothenburg y Malmö). But there's still hope since many of the main networks only comunicate between them and are not included in these statistics."

The Swedish government has twisted by the dark side. They have come up with a law that allow the courts to ask for a user's information who is behind an IP address that has shared copyrighted stuff.

Yesterday, April's 01st 2009, Sweden, in an effort to end with the files sharing that is taking place over the Internet, has enforced the new law against the "piracy". So, now the owner of the rights of a song would be able to make the Internet Server Provider facilitate the personal data of an IP, that have been sharing files.

But on our side, there is still hope, Jedis from the council are fighting against these unfairness. For instance, Jedi Hackers from The Pirate Bay, the famous sued P2P portal, have released IPREDator, an anonymous surfing tool that will help us against to protect our privacy. Also, Rick Falkvinge, leader of the pirate party has asked all citizens to open their WiFis in order to make this law useless, so Internet will remain anonymous and open forever...
