Nyligt frigivede dokumenter fra WikiLeaks afslører at repræsentanter fra USAs regering, på foranledning af amerikanske industrielle interesser, har presset de svenske myndigheder til at indføre en lang række indskrænkelser af den personlige frihed og privatliv, samt specielle rettigheder for store ophavsretsindehavere som fx RIAA og MPAA.
Repræsentanter fra USAs regering brugte trusler om inkludering på deres såkaldte “Special 301 list” over lande, der ikke giver amerikanske industrielle interesser specielle fordele, til at presse den svenske regering til at indføre følgende direktiver.
1. Adopt the copyright law amendments on injunctive relief against ISPs and a “right of information” to permit rights holders to obtain the identity of suspected infringers from ISPs in civil cases.
2. Prosecute to the fullest extent the owners of ThePirateBay [sic]
3. Increase the prosecutorial and police manpower devoted to criminal Internet piracy enforcement.
4. Commence a national criminal enforcement campaign to target source piracy and large scale Internet pirates
5. Ensure that rights holders may pursue the new civil remedies easily and quickly
6. Take an active role fostering ISP-rights holder discussions to effectively prevent protected content from being distributed without authorization over the Internet
Rick Falkvinge forklarer det jurist-tunge sprog i listen således:

1. Adopt “Three Strikes” making it possible to disconnect prople from the internet without a trial (“injunctive relief“), and implement the IPRED directive in a way that the copyright industry can get internet subscriber identities behind IP addresses (which was not mandatory, my note).
2. Prosecute to the fullest extent the owners of The Pirate Bay. (This doesn’t really need translation, except that it’s very noteworthy that the executive branch is ordered to interfere with the work of the judicial one, which is illegal in Sweden too.)
3. Transfer scarce police resources from investigating real crimes and devote them to safeguarding American monopolistic interests against ordinary citizens.
4. Take large-scale initiatives against people sharing music, movies and porn.
5. Make it possible for the copyright industry to sue people (“pursue new civil remedies“) with a minimum of hassle.
6. Abolish the messenger immunity, making Internet Service Providers liable for copyright monopoly infractions happening in their wires, and force them to interfere with the traffic.
Rick Falkvinge notere sig at alle punkter på listen er blevet udført til sidste bogstav på nær nr. 6 der stadig er under udførelse.
