Wanted ISPs to turn over contact info of suspected file-shaeres as requested by entertainment companies.
The Swedish Data Inspection Board has rejected the center-right government’s proposal to force ISPs to turn over information about suspected file-sharers to music and film companies.
Swedish police and prosecutors already have the right to demand personal information about customers who engage in illegal file-sharing of copyrighted content. The proposal presented by the Justice Ministry would have forced ISPs to make the same information available to copyright holders.
The European Union’s Advocate General has criticized the plan, saying that it would violate current laws protecting digital privacy. The Data Inspection Board agrees, saying the proposal violates EU rules for data protection and the right to privacy.
The Swdish Data Inspection Board is a govt agency in Sweden who’s task is "…to protect the individual’s privacy in the information society without unnecessarily preventing or complicating the use of new technology."
