Do these moronic people never learn ?
http://torrentfreak.com/swedish-isp-refuses-to-block-pirate-bay-080327/After forcing a single ISP in Denmark to block The Pirate Bay, it now appears that the IFPI has a plan to sue all of the major Swedish ISPs to force them to do the same. Telia Sonera, a large Swedish ISP is refusing to be bullied, stating that such blocking and filtering actions are illegal under EU law.
According to a report, they have received a letter from the IFPI which states that legal measures will be taken against them unless they block The Pirate Bay initially, and also some other (as yet unnamed) sites connected to it.
However, Telia is highly experienced in its field and has a very clear understanding of its obligations under the law, law which does not require them to block sites or filter content.
Patrik Hiselius of Telia Sonera explains: “The rules say that we as Internet carriers are not allowed to listen in on what our customers are sending to each other or are talking with each other about. That’s something police and prosecutors are allowed to do after a decision has been made about it in court.”
Unfortunately for the IFPI, the law is very stringent when it comes to wiretapping communications.
Clearly the IFPI believes that European law doesn’t count when applied to their interests. If their lawyers weren’t getting so financially fat from these frivolous lawsuits, maybe they would take the time to explain it to them.
No doubt these parasites of humanity will wake up one day to a dwindling bank balance and at least try to abide by the law, until then we can only discourage others from copying the actions of the IFPI and other budding data criminals, be warned break the law and face jail
