The Swedish keep sharing
Jan Libbenga writes in The Register:
A new law in Sweden banning the sharing of copyrighted material doesn't appear to have had any effect, Swedish ISP's say.
Niklas Jakobsson, an engineer at Netnod, Sweden's biggest internet hub, told the (free) newspaper Metro that the law hasn't influenced the traffic passing through the company's systems. However, the managing director at download company Inprodicon, says he sees a significant rise in legal downloads.
The law, which went into effect on 1 July, implement long-overdue provisions of the European Union Copyright Directive (EUCD) of 2002. It also bans technology and software such as P2P file-sharing programmes, including Kazaa and E-Donkey.
