There is a reason why this came in Sweden and not elsewhere. Don't expect to see something like this here.

Sweden giving more power to their people than to foreign companies, those companies were faced with the choice of staying with their old way of doing business (making no virtually no money) or changing the model to do less. At least, less means more than nothing. The fact that this tactic of suing customers failed forced the big players to change. Sweden people along side with their government forced an industry to innovate. And this wouldn't have been possible without piracy. It was the mean through which people expressed their discontent with an industry's current way of doing things. Piracy was like a boycott and it worked.

Now let see how this goes. Could this open the way for other countries? Don't expect it in countries where governments are more concerned by profit making business than their people.
