Submission + - RIAA going bust in Sweden
mengu writes: It seems that a recent decision by Swedish court will make it more difficult for the **AA to find the persons behind the ip-addresses.
From TFA
"The court is confirming that file sharing is punishable by fines. This means that the police are not permitted to demand details of the addresses behind IP addresses and cannot carry out house searches," said Piratbyrån's Tobias Andersson.
What it translates to is that since the crime will only render in fines and not prison time, Search-warrants cannot be issued.
