Wikileaks Cable Shows US Involvement in Swedish Anti-Piracy Efforts |
TorrentFreak

excerpts :

 “The Pirate Bay raid was portrayed as the Government of Sweden caving in to
United States Government pressure. This delicate situation made it
difficult, if not counter-productive, for the Embassy to play a public role
in IPR issues,” it adds. // “We all knew for a long while that the US was
behind the raid and pressured Sweden, but that they’re still doing it was
news to us,” Peter Sunde told TorrentFreak. “And that the Minster of Justice
just says that the cable writer is lying ‘to get a higher salary’ shows that
she doesn’t even care if her government is corrupt.”

The cable in question has not been published by Wikileaks yet, but is
expected to be released in the near future. This, and other cables, are
likely to add more insight into the backroom deals related to file-sharing
and copyright issues.
