[p2p rules]

In an unexpected move, the Swedish Minister of Culture said in a speech that she’s happy with the sentences handed out to the defendants in the Pirate Bay trial. Her comments on an ongoing court case go too far, and are probably unconstitutional according to critics. Music industry insiders, on the other hand, cheered during her speech.

Lena Adelsohn-Liljeroth, the Swedish Minister of Culture held a speech before the Swedish Society of Popular Music Composers (SKAP) yesterday evening. By itself this is not really anything unusual, but while she was speaking she also commented on the verdict in the Pirate Bay trial and the sentences handed out to the defendants.

In front of an audience of music industry insiders the Minister commented on the Pirate Bay verdict. “This may not be appreciated by everyone, but I was one of those who was pleased with the verdict in the Pirate Bay case,” she said.
