Pirate IPTV Arrests in Sweden Should Include Users, Rightsholders Tell Govt.
Pirate IPTV Arrests in Sweden Should Include Users, Rightsholders Tell Govt.
Calls from rightsholders to start going after pirate IPTV subscribers are considered premature, but the government isn't ruling that out.

Hopefully the government realizes that the loss of profit from piracy is usually zero, because the people downloading usually won't even buy the game
Governments rarely realize anything related to IP that the copyright mafia doesn't spoon-feed them, unfortunately.
I've always thought that was a more exclusive US government thing
Oh I wish it was. Eg. here in Finland sharing movies etc. among friends or downloading them off the internet used to be legal as long as you weren't doing it for profit or distributing stuff to a huge audience, but that changed in 2006 because the new EU Copyright Directive required it, and that directive was hugely influenced by the likes of WIPO.
