WIKILEAKS: Proof US behind changes to Swedish law!

An anonymous reader writes: Among the treasure troves of recently released WikiLeaks cables, we find one whose significance has bypassed Swedish media. In short: every law proposal, every ordinance, and every governmental report hostile to the net, youth, and civil liberties here in Sweden in recent years have been commissioned by the US government and industry interests.

Apparently, it is a “vocal youth movement” that fights for basic civil liberties. Also, it is interesting that the Embassy expresses preferences on which parties should be elected by the Swedish people.

        2. (SBU) This cable reviews the progress Sweden has made on the
        Special 301 Initiative Action plan which we presented to the GOS at
        the conclusion of the Special 301 review 2008 (Ref B). Post
        continues to engage very constructively with the GOS, and has good
        access and a good working relationship with key senior and working
        level GOS officials. The actions taken since last year's review
        strengthen the legislative framework and provide better enforcement
        tools for combating piracy. The Pirate Bay trial is currently being
        heard in the district court in Stockholm. The last day of the trial
        is March 4, and the verdict can be expected on or about March 25.
