Swedes Undeterred By Online Piracy Ban

Swedes Undeterred By Online Piracy Ban

By MATTIAS KAREN, Associated Press Writer

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Unless Swedes have suddenly changed their habits, about one in 10 became a criminal on Friday when a ban on sharing copyrighted music and movies over the Internet took effect at midnight.

Swedes are among the most prolific file-sharers in the world. Industry groups estimate that about 10 percent of Sweden’s 9 million residents freely swap music, games and movies on their computers, making the Scandinavian country one of the world’s biggest copyright violators.
