Swedish clamp down on pirates

Have they no sense of their history?

One of the nations who held Northern Europe in fear of another Viking raid and a History channel drama, has decided that pirates are not such a good thing.

Sweden has decided that the old ways of rape and pillage are over especially when it comes to raiding the movie and film business.

Authorities in Sweden are mulling new measures to deal with evolving 'pirate' sites. As part of a legislative review, the government wants to assess potential legal tools, including categorizing large-scale infringement as organized crime, tougher sentences, domain seizures, and site-blocking.
