Last week, seven Swedish MPs wrote to a prominent Swedish tabloid newspaper ‘Expressen’ to express their dissatisfaction with proposals for dealing with copyright infringers. Now, that number has increased to 13, and the issue seems to keep growing. Initially, Karl Sigfrid, and 6 other MPs [Members of Parliament] wrote to Expressen to express their opposition to a plan proposed by Cecilia Renfors, a copyright analyst appointed by the Swedish government. Her plan was that ISPs would close down the connections of filesharers, preventing them from participating in any further copyright infringement. The condemnation for this was broad-based, from the Data inspection Board, the Competition Authority, all the way to the Swedish court of Appeal. (TorrentFreak)
